Ebola Patient Escapes From Clinic
LU STOUT: Coming to you live from Hong Kong, you`re back watching News Stream. Now a British health care worker has been discharged from a London hospital after surviving the Ebola virus. Now William Pulley was infected while volunteering to care for Ebola patients in Sierra Leone. He was flown back to the UK and was treated with the experimental drug ZMapp. But with that positive news, there is now word that another American doctor working in Liberia has been infected. Now, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the outbreak is getting out of control. And tests of an experimental Ebola vaccine begin this week. Now as the number of cases rises, so does the level of desperation in the worst hit parts of West Africa. Fear, and a lack of understanding of the disease, are causing chaos in some places. Michael Holmes reports now on one Ebola patient who broke out of a treatment center in Liberia.</s>MICHAEL HOLMES, CNN CORREPSONDENT: The man in the red shirt is believed to be infected with Ebola. Witnesses told Reuters that he had left an Ebola clinic in Monrovia, Liberia. He wanders here through a market, looking for food, carrying a stick and some stones he used against the doctors treating him. A local doctor tries to convince the man to stop. A large crowd surrounds the sick man.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): We told the Liberian government from the beginning we do not want an Ebola camp here. Today makes it the fifth Ebola patient coming outside vomiting.</s>HOLMES: A doctor tries to hold back the crowd while health care workers in protective clothing chase the man down the street. The angry crowd shouts at the workers, saying the clinics aren`t doing enough.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translator): Their patients are hungry, the patients are starving. No food, no water. The government needs to do more.</s>HOLMES: It`s not clear why the man left the facility. The UN says restrictions on people`s movement and quarantine zones to contain the spread of the disease has led to panic in some areas and also food shortages. Liberia`s president says the health care system in her country is under stress, but conditions are slowly improvement. Here in the market, health care workers continue to try to convince the man to go back to the hospital. But after that doesn`t work, they can be seen dragging him to a truck and pushing him into the back as he struggles to get away. As the Ebola epidemic shows no sign of slowing down, both patients and doctors grow more desperate. Michael Holmes, CNN.</s>LU STOUT: Wow, extraordinary scenes there. You`re watching News Stream.
