Soil, Many Americans are fearing the worst this evening. Hours ago the centers for Disease Control and prevention activated its highest level of Emergency Response to the spread of ebola. Is the outbreak out of control . And how can we put an end to the escalating epidemic thats already claimed hundreds of lives . Our producer is inside the hot zone, and Abcs Steve Osunsami is in atlanta. Reporter 40,000 feet in the air, Nancy Writebol is in a desperate fight for her life. The 59yearold missionary is on a private jet bound for america. Placed in extreme medical quarantine. Weeks earlier, she was in perfect health. In atlanta, doctors will attempt to save here from one of the fiercest diseases on earth, ebola. Shes one of two victims affected overseas. Victims of the worst outbreak the world has ever seen, while doctors here hope cuttingedge medicine can save these victims lives. The spread of the disease is out of control. Almost a thousand dead in the region. Ground zero, liberia, where the death toll is reaching nearly 300 and rising. Reporter the bodies of People Killed by the disease are everywhere. Some buried in shallow graves. The worst cases left to rot. A Government Health worker is fighting an uphill and increasingly dangerous battle. Reporter in liberia, its not safe to work in health care. Workers like mark have become a target. Blamed for spreading the disease and not treating it aggressively enough. And then theres the constant risk of contracting it themselves. Can you tell me where we are . Whats behind you . Two bodies. Reporter each time they confirm an ebola infection here, it helps officials track and hopefully stop the virus. Ebola is one of the deadliest viruses on earth. It kills up to 90 of the people it infects, spreads through blood, sweat, and vomit. Symptoms begin with fever, vomiting, severe blood loss, and death comes quickly, often within days. A small neighborhood in liberia, we ran into violent protests. Residents begging the government to come take the bodies of those who have died. Do you know when the person in this house died . Yeah, this morning. Reporter what about the person in the other house . The day before yesterday. Reporter the Health Department is overworked and undertrained, not able to keep up with the dozens that die every day. When did you all call the Health Department . We called, there was no response. Meanwhile, mark and his team are headed to a nearby village plagued with ebola. You never know. Thats why you dont shake hands with anybody. Because you can never know who it is that you see, that it touches. Reporter the team has to suit up in full hazmat gear, even the slightest contact with the virus can be deadly. The people sick stay in the shadows, but theres death around every corner. Reporter here they encounter a different problem, angry residents are not allowing access to their dead. Muslim tradition demands that bodies are buried the same day the person died. But the team wants to make sure those coming out to mourn wont be infected by the potentially contagious bodies. Why do you want to bury the bodies with you . Because the man is a muslim man. Were bury the man today. All the people can go get the body in our place. Its not anything. We want to bury the man today. What if he did have ebola . The man does not have ebola. Reporter here they find families deep in grief. Who agree to hand over the body, but not before paying their last respects. [ shouting and crying ] reporter it is a country in chaos. People here terrified and full of suspicion. The infected refusing to seek treatment, fearing they will be mistreated or turned away. Reporter in this poor, struggling nation, the Health Care System is stretched dangerously thin. The grim reality here, for every 100,000 people, theres only one doctor. The worst ratio in the entire continent. Compare that to the u. S. Where theres one doctor for every 400 people. Back at emory hospital, Nancy Writebol and kent brantly are surrounded by millions of dollars in cuttingedge equipment, but even that may not be enough to fight ebolas deadly ravages. Doctors here are hoping that an experimental ebola treatment may save their lives. If the serum works, it could save them and thousands of other lives.
