(CNN) - The fear began just after news broke Thursday that a long-range business jet with an isolation pod left the United States for Liberia, where it will evacuate two Americans infected with Ebola.

Twitter exploded with questions about the deadly virus, which according to the World Health Organization is believed to have killed hundreds in four West African nations. And with reaction to news that two infected Americans would soon be on their way back to the United States.

At least one of the two will be taken to a hospital at Emory University, near the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, hospital officials told CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

The patient will be cared for in an isolation unit at the hospital that is separate from patient areas, Gupta said.

With the return of Brantly and Writebol to the United States, it will be the first time that patients diagnosed with Ebola will be known to be in the country.

Originally posted by Reinvention Oh honestly it's not even that serious. It's just another OTT Swine Flu / SARS-type epidemic that everyone gets excited about and promptly forgets the second the media finds something else to talk about.

The ignorant and insensitive comments.

Originally posted by lonnie The overreactions in here as long as they remain isolated then they don't pose a threat. Moreover they are American citizens and America is the better place for them to get medication.

Originally posted by RickyH. No. Have you looked at the symptoms and the death rate of those infected? This isn't a little cold/respiratory flu. It's basically a stomach flu on extreme steroids that eventually shuts down your body, part by part.

Originally posted by Mhs90 I wouldn't have been alarmed by this usually, but the two Americans who supposedly knew how to handle ebola didn't. That says a lot about the virus and America's ability to handle it.
