As I mentioned in previous posts...this is not to downplay the serious nature of Ebola...but it IS fast now becoming a political beast..... When this happens every group that’s doing tests and trials will come knocking at every governments door for more funding and the politicians will use it as a card played in their game....as well as nation leaders declaring a crisis of humanitarian needs.
I’m just pretty sick of sending money through the rip off channels to help in Africa when there is little that comes of it but more fighting, death and disease....and the new rounds of begging for revenues to fix what THEY break.
I tend to doubt the response will be one of “meaningful and coordinated efforts”.....thought they will go through the motions. Liberia is already doing what is done to contain this.....and with it already also with their Leader asking for yet more funding for their humanitarian crisis.
It’s never ending......
I share your concern about those that have their hands in their pockets. Just wanted to point out that this is the stuff that keeps researchers awake at night, and what we have seen so far does not contradict their more dire fears. SARS and bird/swine flu were nothing compared to the potential of Ebola.
