Announcing the quarantine, as well as a wider curfew, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said last night: 'We have been unable to control the spread due to continued denials, cultural burying practices, disregard for the advice of health workers and disrespect for the warnings by the government.
'As a result and due to the large population concentration the disease has spread widely in Monrovia and environs.'
'May God bless us all and save the state,' she later added.
If it’s loose in the West Point slum, which is quarantined with 50K residents inside and no sanitation or waste removal, with an 80% mortality we’re looking at 40K dead there before it’s over with.
And that’s just one slum. There are several in/around Freetown, Sierra Leone as well.
Apocalyptic is correct.
I’m sure she’s getting numbers and information that WHO can only dream of at this point.
