- LaRochelle was taken to Prague for isolation, while Stafford went to Germany for treatment and recovered.
- In July, an order barred US-bound flights for citizens who had been anywhere in Congo within 21 days.
- At Samaritan’s Purse, the share of American staff in Congo’s Ebola centers fell from 80% to about 20%, Franklin Graham said.
- The CDC reported 8,224 confirmed cases after 139 days; the outbreak had killed more than 4,000 people, according to the report.
"It seems like so much is motivated by fear and by the optics, rather than a true understanding of medical risk," LaRochelle told Reuters. "It felt like decisions were patched together and reactive," said the 46-year-old doctor, who has lived in Congo for 11 years with his wife, a family nurse practitioner, and their three children.— Patrick LaRochelle, a US doctor, told Reuters in May about his exposure to Ebola in Congo and criticized the policy of not bringing exposed citizens home for treatment.
