That population figure for West Point is higher than I thought. I don't know how long that quarantine can be maintained with the rising food prices and the Ebola outbreak in that area. Also how does WHO get accurate Ebola stats when that West Point area is sealed off from the outside world?

And they think they've got it bad in Ferguson MO.

The western media has been using the 50k figure this past week. Earlier West African sources have used 75-100k. Nobody really knows, much the same as the Brazilian favelas.

Read the recent FR posts and you”l find that a nearby open air market place was also cordoned off. It’s where west Point got whatever fresh food they good afford. One ex-boy soldier who lost his legs asked how could he beg to survive trapped with other penniless people.

The cordons thrown up over night without announcement indicate that there are far more suspect and probable cases than previously suspected. Done to eliminate as many runners as possible.

For a photo slide show of the initial cordon see:

Greta just reported that there are new Ebola cases ..... the spouses of the medical workers who treated Patrick Sawyer & became infected.

The West Point situation is going to be horrific for those poor people before it’s over ... if it’s not already.
