Hat Tip: Earl of Taint

In Liberia, soldiers and police at checkpoints began halting all road travel entering and leaving eight of the nation's 15 counties, said Information Minister Lewis Brown. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had declared a state of emergency late Wednesday for the coming 90 days, saying her government "will institute extraordinary measures, including, if need be, the suspensions of certain rights and privileges."
A similar effort was under way in Sierra Leone on Thursday, where soldiers in riot gear blocked the roads leading to the country's two most infected districts, said Abdulai Baratay, a government spokesman. Only first responders and officials on public-health-related trips were exempt from the restrictions, he added.

The governments' new martial response comes as hospital systems in affected areas are increasingly collapsing. Wards are filling up with patients, running out of supplies, and even staff, aid workers and officials say. Medical workers aren't just dying from the disease they're treating—they're also deserting their posts.

Hat Tip: Earl of Taint
I’m sorry but seeing our “happy” prez up there with the African guy holding that thing on a stick....just too much visual....
Poor practice to post a subscription article.
operation clean sweep ?
That does look like a third-world sex toy.
I’m glad they are taking steps. Meanwhile the WHO says they can’t stop people from traveling and the CDC accepts the fact that Ebola is coming to the U.S. because of the nature of air travel.
I hope they close the airports as well as the borders.
The robe covers it up so he has to hold it for show and tell on the outside.....[smirk]
About time. Hell we did more to stop the spread of the Emerald Ash borer in Michigan. You couldn’t legally haul firewood out of my county and none at all was allowed to cross the Mackinaw bridge into the UP. (The borers still got there despite inspections and quarentine)
All kidding aside, they are doing the right thing.
That no longer works for me (still requires log-in). No longer displays the cached entry. Used that trick with WSJ for years.
I know it’s ridiculous. We have these organizations set up to investigate but they aren’t prepared to take real action. In fact it’s worse that that. They think they can’t take real action. But because they are set up as authority, everyone looks to them for leadership. And they just aren’t prepared to really lead.
BO will happily bring them here so he can kill more of his opponents.
I found that it does still work for me in Chrome (but not Firefox/Pale Moon). Interesting — FF addons fiddling with cookies?
Dang, the good “guy” on the right sure has a long one.....
Barry’s hoping he’ll leave it for Reggie.
Halting border crossings. Fixed it.
What will it take for this country to do the same? Danger danger danger Will Robinson.
