      Dear Philanthropist,

Following the recent outbreak of one of the deadliest virus/disease ever known to mankind in the West Africa called EBOLA VIRUS; thousands have lost their life's including children, adult, and family's.

Please take your time to read this information carefully.

Before this year, Ebola was a disease relegated to remote villages in Africa. Even public health officials didn't worry about it spreading very far. Until recently, they would probably tell you that the virus typically burned out after ravaging only a handful of people.
But then came 2014.This year has, in many ways, rewritten the Ebola rulebook. We're in the middle of an unprecedented, nightmarish epidemic that has spread from a rural rainforest region in West Africa to large urban centers. The World Health Organization's director has called it "the greatest peacetime challenge" the world has ever faced, with the number of cases doubling each week. Now, health care officials are starting to talk about a worst-case scenario for Ebola. The World Health Organization projects that 20,000 people will be infected in November The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,(CDC) meanwhile, projects up to 1.4 million people could be infected by January, assuming that Ebola cases continue to increase exponentially (as they have) and are currently underreported.

The 2014 Ebola outbreak is the largest Ebola outbreak in history and the first Ebola outbreak in West Africa. This outbreak is the first Ebola epidemic the world has ever known —affecting multiple countries in West Africa. A small number of cases in Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, have been associated with a man from Liberia who traveled to Lagos and died from Ebola, but the virus does not appear to have been widely spread in Nigeria. The case in Senegal is related to a man who traveled there from Guinea.

The Geneva-based W.H.O said in its report, which it dubbed a road map for responding to Ebola, strengthening laboratory facilities and adding staff with more expertise to help contain the outbreak of the virus. Public health infrastructure needed to be improved to cope with future treatments. The road map called for the establishment of Ebola isolation centers and burials of victims which are supervised by health care experts among other specific responses to the disease.
The W.H.O said getting health experts to regions affected by the Ebola virus outbreak was an urgent priority. That has been made difficult because international airlines, including Air France, British Airways, Emirates Airline and K.L.M airline. Have suspended flights to the four affected countries. The W.H.O program will likely cost around $490 million and require contributions from national governments, some U.N. and non-governmental agencies, and individuals as well as humanitarian organizations, As a result of the assistance which part of the public has been financially, materially and morally donated.

Although the risk of an Ebola outbreak in the United States and other part of the world is low, CDC and partners are taking precautions to prevent this from happening. CDC is working with other U.S. government agencies, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other domestic and international partners and has activated its Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate technical assistance and control activities with partners. CDC has also deployed teams of public health experts to West Africa and will continue to send experts to the affected countries.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the national public health institute of the United States. The CDC is a federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services and is headquartered in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, a few miles northeast of the Atlanta city limits.[1][2][3] Its main goal is to protect public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability. The CDC focuses national attention on developing and applying disease control and prevention. It especially focuses its attention on infectious disease, food borne pathogens, environmental health, occupational safety and health, health promotion, injury prevention and educational activities designed to improve the health of United States citizens and the whole world. In addition, the CDC researches and provides information on non-infectious diseases such as obesity and diabetes and is a founding member of the International Association of National Public Health Institutes.

The CDC Foundation operates independently from CDC as a private, nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of Georgia. The creation of the Foundation was authorized by section 399F of the Public Health Service Act to support the mission of CDC in partnership with the private sector, including organizations, foundations, businesses, educational groups, and individuals.

Sir/Ma, we are hereby appealing for more funds and other material support, regardless of the amount to rehabilitate the lives of all present patients that are affected by this deadly virus/disease and to contain the spread of the virus.

God in his grace and infinite mercies will reward people who contribute in any way to save the life's of other humans in need, we strongly believe that as you move to assist these less privilege once, In the name of God or whatever you believe in you shall never be a victim of this deadly virus/disease including your families and love ones.

Kindly contact the organizations office via E-mail or telephone they will put you through on how you can make your donation.

He hasn't really updated us with gloom nor doom that much lately. Is Ebola contained? What's next on the THIS'LL-KILL-US-NOW agenda?

That last update is about gloom and doom as you can get. Obviously those six hundred are dead, another thousand from that 1500 will follow and they're doctoring the numbers because they're desperate to avoid a panic.

[Eddie Teach]

1500 new cases in 3 days?

1500 new cases in 3 days?

The numbers from Liberia have been totally incoherent lately. Some reputable sources are saying the numbers have dropped a lot, others are saying people are hiding the sick and corpses because they are afraid of treatment centers and don't want to burn the bodies.

We're just going to have to wait a month and see what shape the country is then.

[PJL]

1500 new cases in 3 days?

That sounds like a good sign to me. If anything Liberia's figures were being under-reported (by at least 2,500 by my reckoning). If they've now suddenly jumped up, it's more likely that reported figures are catching up with actual figures.

Did anybody watch 60 Minutes this week, where they interviewed the nursing staff that took care of the Liberian that died at Texas Presbyterian?  One nurse said the most shocking thing was the sheer amount of waste in vomit and diarrhea his body was producing in the last stages.  It was all clean up, all the time.

Makes sense, from the evolutionary perspective.

 Saw an article posted on Flutrackers that quoted the Red Cross claiming that body collection has gone down a lot in Liberia's capital. Given the huge increase in cases reported, that can only be true if a really large percent are hiding the bodies and doing clandestine burials. That's sure to make things even worse. I really hope the Red Cross is right, but I just don't see how that can be so if that 1500 number is also correct. 70% of them is 1050, those bodies are being dealt with by somebody.

We need Obama to create a Centers for Timmay Control.

Thanks Obongo!

Isn't that what you mods are for?

Waterloo has a population of 40,000 if wikipedia is accurate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo,_Sierra_Leone

Even if that's an underestimate, 270 dead in a two week span is a really bad sign.

http://news.sl/drwebsite/publish/article_200526490.shtml

The Head of  Ebola Burial Team in Freetown's outskirts; Western Rural,  Mr. Manso S. Kargbo has said since mid September to date (October 26th), they have buried "over seven hundred bodies". The Ebola Burial head told Awareness Times that majority of the dead bodies from the Western Rural Area were collected from Waterloo Community. According to him, almost every day they discover abandoned corpses on streets in Waterloo. He disclosed that they conduct dignified burial ceremonies and sometimes with participation of family members who pray from a distance before corpses are lowered into graves. He said they now have a special cemetery where they conduct Ebola Burials but sometimes, the family members dig a grave in family plots of local cemeteries where they undertake burial process.

He informed that they also collect dead bodies from Ebola Treatment Centers and Ebola Holding Facilities in Hastings, Jui and Newton.

Also speaking to this newspaper was the Deputy Headman of the Waterloo Community Mr. Zacharia Conteh who disclosed that since the 1st October to 15th October 2014, "over 270 dead bodies have been collected from the Waterloo area and safely buried".



The Waterloo Deputy Headman went on to say Waterloo is in perpetual jeopardy as death is now very common in the Monkey Bush, Mariba, John Thorpe, Benguema axis and other communities. He however complained of inadequate treatment options for the community especially for those in the quarantined homes. Poor security was another problem he lamented over.



"Death continues because people in quarantined homes are not given much attention," he stated. This, he said, is amidst the many other challenges faced in Waterloo.


This newspaper has in investigations conducted over past fortnight, found that real reasons why the transmission of the virus continues to remain very high in the Northern Province and Western Area is just because of lack of health facilities into which Ebola suspected and confirmed cases can be swiftly taken away from their communities. As said by the Headman, Citizens in quarantined homes are amongst those finding it difficult as when they do eventually fall ill after incubation of the virus, there is usually no medical care. They go on to die in homes; continuing to spread Ebola to others in the homes.

Many observers believe that it is very wrong for anybody to heap blame on   Paramount Chiefs up in the Northern Province for the spread of Ebola virus when Central Government authorities are yet to make even a single fully functional Ebola Treatment Center available for entire Northern Province.
