She is from Charlottle, not in Charlotte. She is in Liberia where she has been helping out with a medical aid mission. By all appearances, she is a woman who should end up at the right hand of Christ, though hopefully not soon.
My heart skipped a beat. But yeah, Charlotte is the headquarters of Samaritan's Purse, the organization the Ft. Worth doctor who contracted it is from. Dr. Kent Brantly is only 33 years old; with a wife and kids in Texas. Last I checked his blogspots from 2009 were still up. God bless him. You can donate directly to the organization's West African ebola response here. I donated $50.
Nancy Writebol worked in the decontamination unit, basically she was one of those who you see helping the doctors suit up and take off their suits afterwards. The fact that she was infected, and doctors are infected, shows that there are multiple failures in the current operational procedures which must be corrected. For a supposedly "hard to catch" disease it certainly is hard to defend against. Which is going to be an issue going forward because, BSL-4 is not replicable on the ground.
Headquarters are actually in Boone. (pedant)
