Yes, the local people were saying this is the 5th to escape, one guy said "Today makes it the fifth ebola patient coming outside vomiting and defecating."  Scary situation.

3500 infected, 1900 dead :(

Nigeria may be in trouble.

QuoteAbout 60 other people are under surveillance after having "high-risk" or "very high-risk" contact with the infected doctor, WHO said. More than 140 others are also being monitored.

"Given these multiple high-risk exposure opportunities, the outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Port Harcourt has the potential to grow larger and spread faster than the one in Lagos," WHO warned.

In the case of Liberia, the really sad thing is they seemed to have finally gotten back on track and were moving away from nonstop civil war.  It's like countries in that part of the world just cannot catch a break, ever...

More about that Nigerian doctor's "high risk" behavior.

The short of it is that they're boned. :(

QuoteWHO said Wednesday that the physician continued to see patients after the onset of Ebola symptoms and even operated on two people. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, and health authorities say patients are only contagious once they show symptoms.

"Prior to hospitalization, the physician had numerous contacts with the community, as relatives and friends visited his home to celebrate the birth of a baby," WHO said in a statement.

"Once hospitalized, he again had numerous contacts with the community, as members of his church visited to perform a healing ritual said to involve the laying on of hands. During his six-day day period of hospitalization, he was attended by the majority of the hospital's health care staff."

Well they were pretty effective at that body bag fundraising drive at my church.  If you raise it, you gotta spend it!

You always say that. At what threshold is okay not to relax? 100,000 cases? 250,000? More?

Maybe they got such a deal on quantity that 60,000 made sense?  I'd have to think body bags have a pretty good shelf life.

Now FEMA coffins-- that's something to get all worried about!

When you notice the guy next to you has ebola.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

The 60,000 bags didnt meet QA\QC standards in the West, so they got a deal.  Zippers are on the inside.
