An American doctor who has contracted the dangerous Ebola virus in Liberia is "weak and quite ill," a colleague of his told AFP on Tuesday. Kent Brantly, 33, became infected with Ebola while working with patients in the Liberian capital of Monrovia as he helped treat victims of the worst Ebola outbreak in history. Brantly and another American healthcare worker, Nancy Writebol, are among the more than 1,200 people who have become infected with Ebola in West Africa since March. More than 670 people have died, including Omar Khan, a leading Ebola doctor in Sierra Leone, who passed away on Tuesday after being hospitalized with the virus last week.
