A U.N. peacekeeper who contracted Ebola in Liberia will be flown to the Netherlands for treatment, a Dutch Health Ministry spokeswoman said Friday.
The Nigerian soldier will go into isolation at a "calamity unit" at the University Medical Center Utrecht, according to Inge Freriksen. He is expected to arrive in Amsterdam over the weekend and be transferred by ambulance to nearby Utrecht.
Late Thursday, the U.N. mission announced that the soldier had tested positive for the dreaded disease a day earlier.
The Ebola outbreak has sickened nearly 17,300 people, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Of those, about 6,100 have died.

The infection of the U.N. peacekeeper is the third case among mission personnel, according to Karin Landgren, the top U.N. envoy in the country. The previous two died.
The mission has so far identified 16 people who came into contact with the soldier, and they have been quarantined, she said. Areas the peacekeeper visited while symptomatic have been decontaminated.

It's still out there, and with no more vigilance than we've been seeing in airports, etc., it will be here again, if it isn't now. We just won't hear about it.
For him, that's "Mission Accomplished".
It is all about image, not substance.
I wonder “what” he got paid?
Hard to say, but no check is worth it if you don’t get to cash it.
that is true
