Some logical dissonance here. If death is the almost-
certain outcome, what the heck do you need a hospital for?

Is health care a contributory factor with 10% who survive?

Obviously, people with OTHER problems will be affected by
the closings. But given the state of healthcare there, it
might also be a blessing, as they are now at reduced risk
of catching HIV from re-used hypodermic needles.

For isolation, primarily. And to know how many patients there are. But medical facilites are inadequate, at this point, and the question is likely moot in Angola.
