The Ebola News Digest

[Godwit]

Tests are being carried out for the Ebola virus and isolation procedures have been put in place after the death of a man in Co Donegal.

It is understood the deceased had been working in Sierra Leone and that a number of colleagues had contracted the virus there. He was found dead late last night and taken to Letterkenny General Hospital, it is understood.

While the cause of death is unknown the HSE is carrying out tests to see whether it was due to exposure to Ebola.

MONROVIA, Liberia — Thirty members of the police support unit stood stone-faced and dressed in riot gear in a desolate Waterside General Market on Wednesday. Police with machine guns and a couple of soldiers had sealed off the entrance to the West Point neighborhood with a makeshift checkpoint that was battered earlier in the day, the razor wire stripped of its razor.

“We are preparing for the worst-case scenario tonight and tomorrow morning,” the commander said. He told the officers to stock up on food for their families. “We don’t want to have enough security tonight and then tomorrow morning the team goes and we can’t handle it.”

Early Wednesday morning West Pointers woke up and learned the government had quarantined them in their community for 21 days. The government cited high levels of Ebola infection as well as denial, although the Ministry of Health has yet to produce data.

Yeah... does anyone really believe that the US would be any different? Half our population isn't any more "educated" than those poor people. And more than half probably don't have much more food in their homes than those folks do, either...

Let's keep in mind these measures are being implemented after the CDC has dispatched "experts" to help control the spread of the disease.
