A young man lies dead in the streets of Liberia, left to rot in view of passers-by and local children.
He is just one of many Ebola victims to have been dragged out of their homes and dumped on the country's roads by terrified relatives in a desperate bid to avoid being quarantined.
The deadly virus, which can cause victims to suffer from severe bruising and bleeding from the eyes and mouth, has claimed the lives of nearly 900 people across West Africa so far.

Leaving bodies out is not uncommon in these parts of the world. I was visiting friends in Ghana and we drove by a body along the road that had been left out and covered with a palm leaf. My friends explained that the locals were very superstitious and afraid to touch a sick or dead person. They once witnessed a person go into a seizure and everyone around the person scattered in fear they would contract the seizure as well.
Surprised no Houston cases, with all the oil/gas travel to the region.
Direct flight from Murtala Muhammed in Lagos to Houston. I’m surprised as well.
‘an’ outbreak.
darned autocorrect.
I’m fascinated with that researcher who’s convinced the Bubonic Plague was actually Ebola...
Yep leave the bodies out so more “bush animals” feast on them then eat the bush animal and get ebola...the circle goes round and round.
Personally, I would burn the body where it fell. Some diesel and a flare.
Touching the body to move it just risks exposure.

^^ the Ganges river in India has tons of bodies just floating along. People bathe next to them.
I didn’t realize there was a direct flight from Nigeria to the US. Should be cancelled immediately and permanently.
What frightens me the most is that the ptb keep reassuring the public about stuff they can't possibly be certain of.
Now Ebola victims are left to rot in the streets?
They sound like a bunch of ebolaphobes.
There are several in fact.
One to Atlanta and another to St. Louis. Probably more.
Heck, I was in the Los Angeles garment district one day and saw a Hispanic man laying on a stoop, with his head propped up against a doorway. Flies were going in and out of his open mouth and were all over his bare stomach. People were just stepping over him. I went to find a police officer, but couldn’t find one. There was a parking ticket on my rental then I returned though, and the man was still laying there.
uncontainable short of not allowing any travelers from the infected nations.
That article was very interesting, wasn’t it?
If the ‘plague event’ selected for the CCR5 d32 mutation it would make more sense if it were a viral event.
Whoa hoss!
Our Texans are going to win the Superbowl by default.

........ and that’s not a ‘sure thing’ by any means. Our own southern border is a case in point.
