Judge Jeanine just had Dr. Bob Arnot (”Dr. Danger”) on talking about Ebola. He has been in Ebola wards .... two docs he was with ended up dead from what seemed like very minor contact. He said the danger to the US is “not zero” although he felt like CDC, Emory were going to take every precaution. He did NOT think these two needed to come to the US for treatment. He felt that Franklin Graham (& he’s worked with him for 20 years) takes the best care of his relief workers of all the aid organizations and wanted them to have the very best care. The US government aided and facilitated Graham/Samaritan’s Purse in bringing Dr. Brantley here. At least twice, Arnot strongly stated they did not need to come here to get treatment.
As for Brantley, it does look like he walked out of the ambulance & it was reported that way on Fox - J.Jeanine showed the video. If he DID walk out, I’m thinking he’s going to survive this - by all accounts of Ebola I’ve seen, as long as he’s had it, he should pretty much be “down & out” by now. I hope he survives - he’s a courageous man - risked his life for his fellow human beings. He has a wife and little kids and it would be a shame if he dies.
Here is an excellent story I found on a link on Drudge about aid workers dying and it describes all the protective gear they wear, but also goes into how mistakes are made & why so many are dying despite the gear & procedures for dealing with soiled bedding, etc.

That article you linked to helps explain why the primitive medical conditions in Africa is totally different from being treated here.
