Tracking Ebola patient's journey to the U.S.

Not sure how I feel about this…  My heart goes out to the incredible doctors who risked their lives to save others however is it a good idea to bring these patients to the U.S?  I guess we have to ‘trust’ the health control system on this one.  If this would help some sort of cure to come into place then fine but the risk of this disease spreading in the U.S is scary.  Will think positive….  Hope the patients are cured.

Atlanta (CNN) -- The Ebola virus is coming to the United States for what's thought to be the first time, as two Americans return home after getting infected while helping others cope with the outbreak ravaging West Africa.

The first patient is expected to arrive in the United States on Saturday afternoon, U.S. officials said. The aircraft carrying that person will land at Georgia's Dobbins Air Reserve Base, then take off again for Liberia to get the second American infected with Ebola.

Both are expected to head to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, according to Dr. Bruce Ribner, who oversees the special isolation unit where they will be treated. On Friday, he described the patients as "stable" and "safe to transport."

The Emory unit -- created in conjunction with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is based down the road -- is designed to optimize care for those with infectious diseases while safeguarding health care workers and visitors. Emory's hospital is one of only four U.S. institutions capable of such care, according to Ribner.
