Pelley no country has been harder hit by ebola than liberia, a hot zone for the outbreak where more people have died from the virus than anywhere else. Thats where most of the u. S. Effort is focused, with more than 2,000 americans now leading the International Response and more on the way soldiers, doctors, nurses, and relief workers who are running mobile labs, building hospitals, and treating patients. Liberia lies just north of the equator, and is home to part of the last great rainforest in west africa, where the ebola virus thrives in tropical, humid conditions. With their hospitals overwhelmed, special centers for the sick, called ebola treatment units, are being built as fast as possible. One of them is run by an American Relief group, the International Medical corps, where lara logan, who is currently selfquarantined for 21 days, reported this story. Logan to get to the ebola treatment unit, we traveled north from the liberian capital along pitted roads toward the border with neighboring guinea, where this outbreak began. American virologist joseph fair, whos been here for most of the epidemic, came with us. Around 40 miles out of monrovia, we were stopped at the first checkpoint. So everybody basically crossing this line into the next county has to have their temperature taken . Joseph fair yes on the way in and on the way out. Logan manned by men with thermometers instead of guns, they were hunting for anyone with a fever. 36. 3 . And after every stop, a ritual cleansing with chlorine. It kills the virus in seconds. In this outbreak, there have already been more deaths than all of the previous Ebola Outbreaks combined. Why is this one so bad . Fair this really happened at the nexus, the tristate region where a single or a few tribal groups exist throughout the three countries, and each of those areas are connected by roads to the major cities in each of the countries affected. And those major cities are connected to the rest of the world. So this had never happened in such a highly mobile and geographically connected region. Logan at the end of a dirt road, on the grounds of an old leper colony, we arrived after a fivehour drive at the International Medical corps ebola treatment unit. And were hosed down again. Its a onedisease hospital with 50 beds and a staff of nearly 200, run by an american doctor, pranav shetty, who trained in emergency medicine at ucla. Pranav shetty we have a lot of protocols and procedures around the cleaning of supplies that are taken into the high risk zone. This is where we dry boots. Basically, everything after its been heavily chlorinated and washed and dried, and clear of ebola, we can continue to use it. Logan since they opened in midseptember, theyve treated more than 200 patients, and so far, none of their staff have been infected. Containers of chlorine and taps for handwashing mark the divisions between every section. Patients in the confirmed ward have tested positive for ebola. Those who feel Strong Enough sit outside, but most are hidden from view in their rooms. Theyre separated from the suspected ward by an orange fence, where people whose tests have not come back yet have to wait. No one can enter these areas without layers of protection, and on their way out, staff are hosed down in the decontamination zone. Colin bucks its otherworldly. Were in an area. Football field sized plot, cut out of deep green forest, and everything is blue or gravel, and it smells like chlorine. Its. Youve. Youve come to another planet. Logan dr. Colin bucks has been on duty here for the past month. At home, hes an emergency physician at stanford. Bucks the world, if it chooses and people say step up, i think this is very containable. Logan and if they dont . Bucks i think we make our own bed, you know . Thats why i urge people to say, this is my responsibility. I have a global citizens responsibility to do this. And if you want to say a patriotic responsibility to keep america safe, yeah. People go off to war to keep us safe; people should. People should fight this crisis with the same sense of responsibility. Kelly suter these rooms are clean. Logan nurse kelly suter is one of a handful of americans working alongside colin bucks. Suter even though i know its a reality that i could get sick, and that i could be one of them that doesnt survive, im okay with that because id rather be here helping than home and safe. Logan shes 29, from northern michigan, and will be here until the end of the year. What is it like to see it every day . Suter it can be difficult. Theres good days and theres bad days. I mean, the first deathbed i experienced was a gentleman that, i mean, he came in critical, but i didnt expect him to pass away as suddenly as he did. In fact, i was in there bathing him and getting him dressed, and then all of a sudden i looked up and his eyes were really big, and he was obviously scared. And, you know, my instincts as an american nurse is to turn around and look for, you know, the code blue button to hit or some medications or an ambu bag. And you realize that. Logan but there isnt one . Suter no, you know. So i got down by his bed and held his hand and talked to him. And a few minutes later, he was gone. Logan most of the staff here are liberian, and to lift their spirits, they mark every new shift with hymns. The stigma of the disease is so great, many of them say theyre treated as outcasts when they commute back home every day. But in here, the americans who work with them call them heroes. In sweltering heat and often 100 humidity, they cover every inch of their bodies in plastic and rubber armor. Theyre so hard to recognize, they wear their names on their foreheads. Its for each other and for their patients. How tough is it to wear that suit . Bucks physically . Logan yeah. Bucks its astounding. laughs youre soaked with sweat before you walk in. Youre just drenched. The tough part is that when the masks get filled with your own breath and sweat, that then it really gets hard to breathe. And you have to go. To breathe. You have to get out then. It actually. You feel like youre suffocating. Logan every time they cross into the highrisk area, theyre touching people at their sickest and most contagious. Thats dr. Steven hatch, an Infectious Disease specialist from massachusetts, on his two hour shift behind the fence. Steven hatch i try to make it seem like im a regular guy, doing a regular piece of work. It removes that sense that im an alien, which is the first reaction the patients have whe they see us. Logan its kind of intimidating, right . Hatch oh, i cant even imagine what they experience in the first 24 hours when all they see are these, you know, faceless creatures that are moving around. And so i try to do everything i can to humanize that process for them, and we all do around here. Logan in the confirmed ward, patients wait, mostly to die. There are 15 to 20 here at any given time. A few survive with i. V. Fluids and early care that allows their immune systems to get ahead of the virus. But if they dont, it wreaks havoc on their organs, melting away cell walls and plunging the body into shock. It can be an agonizing death, which the doctors here try to ease with pain medication and sedatives. So this area behind me is the highrisk area here at the treatment center. And we want to talk to some of the patients, but you have to keep your distance. And this gentleman who you can see behind me, is caring for his son. He was cured here at the center, and is now looking after his fiveyearold boy, who is confirmed to have ebola. The boys name is william. And his father, george, who is now immune to this virus, gave us permission to tell their story. Nurse kelly suter was with them from the start. Suter hes been by that little boys bedside around the clock, and when things get hard or im tired or sweating so bad that i just want to go home, you know, i remember george and i remember little william. Logan so what would you want people at home to know about this . Suter its not as scary as it seems because it is manageable. There are protocols, there are procedures to protect yourself. Its not like were walking into ebola land and, you know, were all going to die. Were doing what we should. We know what were doing. Logan a medical team masked in full protective gear is always on hand when new patients are brought in. This is what passes for an ambulance here a pickup wrapped in orange tarp. On this day, colin bucks was waiting. No one can come near the patient until the sprayers are done. Strapped inside, a young man, highly infectious with ebola. Hed been abandoned on the street for a week until they picked him up. Bucks they were afraid that he would exit the vehicle while it was moving. He was quite confused, and we see that with ebola, a kind of encephalopathic kind of state. Logan the trauma of the epidemic had touched everyone we met. Over the summer, virologist joseph fair saw some of his closest friends in this region, doctors and nurses hed known for years, get infected and die. Fair has spent 15 years in west africa, mostly on behalf of the u. S. Department of defense, studying dangerous viruses in secure labs, or trying to track them down at their source in the animal world. For most of the past eight months, hes been working to get ahead of this epidemic. Here at the National Laboratory in liberia, there was no way to test for ebola until he and his team handcarried in the equipment. By late may, they thought the outbreak was over. Fair we were just a few days from declaring it over, and thats when we had cases emerge, both in liberia and sierra leone and guinea. Logan what happened . Fair individuals that were infected with ebola were missed at the time through the Contact Tracing that was in place. And those individuals traveled, became ill, and infected other individuals around them. Logan and that is the cause of this current huge wave of the epidemic . Fair thats all it takes. It only takes missing one individual to result in another outbreak. Logan resources that were slow to come at first are now pouring in. The u. S. Army showed us one of the 17 ebola treatment units they are building, together with the liberian military. But theres still no cure, and the virus is killing around 70 of the people it infects. Tracking down the sick and the dying is a dangerous but critical part of containing the outbreak. On this day, the International Medical corps ambulance team, led by dr. Trish henwood, from the university of pennsylvania, and kenyan nurse elvis ogweno, had been called back to a house where two people had already died of ebola. The patient was kept isolated to one side, while a team of sprayers worked on the house with chlorine. As he walked to the ambulance, the patient was followed. They covered every piece of ground he touched. He was headed for the suspected ward, where patients are caged in, waiting to find out if they have ebola, like this woman who stayed close to her son. Her husband already lay deathly ill on the other side of the fence in the confirmed ward. Later in the day, anguished wails filled the air. woman wailing she had just been told her husband was dead. Death is a constant here, and at the end of a path through the forest, lies their graveyard. A team of gravediggers try to stay ahead of the numbers. For the american scientist, they had many questions. Fair we think it probably exists in the bats, because they dont get sick from the virus and thats how we know usually where the virus comes from. If it doesnt make that animal sick, it usually means that animal can carry the virus. Logan what do you say to people back home who are much more focused on ebola in the u. S. And think, you know, you should just shut it off, isolate it and protect americans from this disease . Fair the thing that i need to get across to everyone is that, until we handle the outbreak here and be that ebola, be that some other disease until we handle outbreaks where they occur, we are never going to be safe ourselves. Logan there were 34 filled graves when we arrived. Two and a half weeks later, there were more than 60. The patient who came strapped inside the ambulance is now lying here. For every death, a simple funeral. A patients brother clutched a wooden gravemarker on his way to the graveyard. The body, still infectious, had to be wrapped in two body bags. With each move, there was more chlorine. Its now protocol here for every burial. For the boy william and his father george, who survived ebola with the help of the american doctors and nurses here, there was much hope as they fought for his sons life. But in that same graveyard, a few days later, another small grave was added. Lara logan talks from quarantine about covering the Ebola Outbreak in africa. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com.
