“Isolation and quarantine remain the only tools available to stop the spread at this time and for the foreseeable future.”
WHO needs to listen to WHO!!
“GENEVA: The World Health Organisation said on Monday (Aug 18) that it had set up a task force with the global airline and tourism industry in an effort to contain the spread of Ebola.”
“In Monday’s statement, the WHO reiterated that it does not recommend any ban on international travel or trade due to the Ebola outbreak, which has infected more than 2,100 people so far and killed 1,145.”
“To head off potential risks, the WHO reaffirmed that affected countries should conduct exit screening of all persons at international airports, seaports and major land crossings, for unexplained febrile illness consistent with potential Ebola infection”.
“Anyone with an illness consistent with Ebola should not be allowed to travel, unless the journey was part of a medical evacuation, nor should people who have had contact with an Ebola case, it said.”
How in the H@11 can they know if someone had contact with an Ebola case??

Ebola: Woman Smashes Bottle On Man’s Head For Hugging Her
http://www.nairaland.com/1864436/ebola-woman-smashes-bottle-mans
The fear of contracting the deadly Ebola Virus Disease caused a woman yesterday to smash a beer bottle on a man’s head for hugging her in Ajah area of Lagos State.
The woman identified as Bunmi was said to have been upset when her friend, Ademola Ojikutu, held her from behind without her consent.
According to LEADERSHIP reports, Bunmi was afraid of contracting Ebola and had since refused to shake hands with anybody including her elder sister, Yemi.
Yemi told the newspaper that she was discussing with Bunmi, at Ilaje area when Ojikutu held her from behind.
According to her, Bunmi was enraged and, out of anger, picked a bottle from a nearby beer parlour and smashed it on Ademola’s head.
The victim was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital in tthe area to stop the bleeding from the cut to his head.
While Bunmi disapproved of her sister’s action, she, however, faulted the man for hugging her from behind when she was not his lover
