And two Americans infected with Ebola, including a doctor trained in Fort Worth, will leave Liberia by early next week, according to Samaritan's Purse, the charity group they work for. They’ll be taken by private jet to an Atlanta hospital inside portable pods designed by the Centers for Disease Control.
