American Ebola Survivor: Outbreak is 'A Fire Straight From the Pit of Hell' - NationalJournal.com

American Ebola Survivor: Outbreak is 'A Fire Straight From the Pit of Hell' - NationalJournal.com: Ebola survivor Kent Brantly said it's "time to think outside the box" for ways to combat the virus's worst outbreak in history, which continues to ravage West Africa.

The physician was treating Ebola patients in Liberia when he tested positive for the disease on July 26. He is one of four American aid workers flown back to the United States for treatment.

In a hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Tuesday, Brantly implored the international community to ramp up relief efforts, calling on the U.S. to lead the efforts. His testimony came on the same day President Obama announced a new stepped-up strategy for U.S. efforts to combat the epidemic.
