NOTE: This story is from late September, but I had not heard this reported anywhere.
Explains, in part, why troops are being called up.

Wow. That reminds me very much of the Babylon 5 episode “Confessions and Lamentations” — a dreary title, but a magnificent piece of TV.

In Womey and its surroundings, some people refuse to acknowledge the existence of Ebola and accuse the health officials of intentionally infecting the populations. Information on Ebola eradication efforts are viewed suspiciously as Western propaganda and distribution of chlorine-based products are rejected as attempts to destroy villages More paranoia than superstition.

I have a friend from South Africa and she told me that the reason Ebola spreads so quickly among the black population of Liberia is that the family members of the deceased handle the bodies by washing them before they are laid out or whatever their tradition is.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
