Thanks for the thread.
To sum up:
It ain’t over until it’s over.
And it ain’t over.
I talked with a fellow from Liberia in the Walmart in Williston, ND (There are a few Liberians working there), and he was thankful his family had been spared.
All the same, he won't go back to visit family there, even though Liberia has been declared Ebola-free, until the problems have been resolved.
He said it is too easy to literally walk from Liberia to Guinea or Sierra Leone, (or vice-versa) and the borders are not guarded very well. Until it is out of the region, it will not be gone.
