naturally, WHO's solution is to beg for $150Million more dollars. As if money will end superstition.

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...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

There have been 872 cases of Ebola since the start of the outbreak, according to the WHO. Sounds like this is a case of....ah what the Hell. It's Africa!

Sub-Sahara Africa. Where dry sex is popular and disease generating. Where old dudes think having sex with a young virgin will cure the man’s syphilis. Then they burn down the clinics. They really are shit-holes.

I doubt if these are Christians doing this though.

looks like it, Christians in these countries are sometimes just as suspicious as animists. they fear a government plot. In Africa that actually could be true.

This is typical behavior seen everywhere.
Whether it's a nation in Africa or a neighborhood in the US.
After it's destroyed they give us 'the narrative' of why it was destroyed such as 'the people they were 'allegedly' trying to help weren't allowed to be part of the process' or some other non-sense excuse.
I've now seen it happen enough that I know it's pointless to do anything to help.

Quarantine & burn it all - I’ll say a prayer for them.

It never seems to occur to them to provide for
their own security does it.

Within the response, and ourselves, MSF, we need to think what more we could have done, because right now its clear that we do not have enough trust within the community, said Pierre Van Heddegem, project coordinator of the Ebola response in Katwa, adding that all agencies needed to engage in greater consultation with communities. There it is right there; exactly as I said.
'WE didn't engage them. WE didn't reach out. WE didn't explain exactly what we were doing. WE didn't build trust'.
I see the same thing on local news at minority community meetings.

I agree, its two thousand and freaking twenty, and these animals are still happy in their cave.
Do the world a favor and stop helping...

If we had a real United Nations, they would be sending in their armed troops to take this whole area over. It’s obvious that the politicians do not have the authority or the will to do it themselves. This is a matter of global public health, far more real, more immediate than some Global Warming money scheme. It certainly should not be up to the United States to make this happen.

Yeah, burn down the clinics, that's sooooo helpful.
Just get all the Kaci Hickox's out of there, stop incoming flights from these countries, and Let Africa Sink.
