BROWN: If Ebola got graded on its ability to kill people, it would get an A. It doesn't discriminate and will kill or infect just about everyone would gets close to it. And now we have learned a second American in Liberia has contracted the disease. Nancy Writebol, an American aid worker treating Ebola patients in the capital city, Monrovia, has tested positive for the disease. And this comes after the news that Dr. Kent Brantly, an American also treating Ebola patients in that same city, was confirmed as infected. Ebola has ravaged parts of West Africa over the past few months, killing 660 people across Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Now the normal death rate is 98 percent. Thankfully, early treatment has kept the death rate for this particular outbreak at around 60 percent. And Ebola's highly fatal and contagious nature makes it very difficult to see up close without the risk of infection, and that's evident from the two Americans who are now sick that we just talked about.
