ATLANTA (Reuters) - Smiling and looking vibrant, the second of two nurses infected while treating the first Ebola patient in the United States was released from an Atlanta hospital and flew home to Dallas on Tuesday, declared free of the deadly virus.

"I'm so grateful to be well," Amber Vinson, 29, told reporters at Emory University Hospital before hugging the doctors and nurses who had treated her since her Oct. 15 arrival. "And first and foremost I want to thank God."
