Racing along cracked and bumpy roads here, Gordon Kamara shouted into his cellphone over the shrieking sirens of his ambulance. The phone had been ringing nonstop since 5 a.m.
“Not today! Not today!” Mr. Kamara, an ambulance nurse, yelled later in the day. “We are on the opposite side of town!”
The calls have all been the same in recent weeks: from friends, friends of friends, extended family, complete strangers. All of them have loved ones sick with Ebola and beg him to come quickly. Seven days a week, Mr. Kamara and his crew span Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, in a donated, old American ambulance — with California license plates still attached.
“It never stops,” said Mr. Kamara, getting another call the moment he hangs up.
The 15 or so ambulance teams bolting around the city have had many days of hard choices like this. Hundreds of new Ebola cases are reported each week in Monrovia, with many more never accounted for. And over the course of the epidemic, only a small percentage of them have ever made it to a hospital.

And Obama wants to send the National Guard into this?
I agree with your observation in post #1.
Should you have Christian and other charities wanting to go in there, if the UN wants to go in and not with us being the primary player, give these people resources then to do it.
It certainly is an ethical dilemma and I do wish to be Christian.
That’s how it was stopped before, it burnt itself out because it had no mode of transportation outside the towns where it had sprung.
We are spreading it. It should have been contained.
Any rational Liberian with a passport and a credit card would try to get to the West. Soon commercial air service will stop because the airports will be besieged by desperate people trying to get out.
According to the “official” statistics, some 4500 people have died of Ebola.
From the sounds of this story, there could be 4500 bodies lying on the ground in Monrovia just as I type this out.
How come we never see photos of all these affected towns in West Africa?
That is the only way to stop it.
There was a story posted about a person who died of ebola and their body remained in the street in that country over in Africa for a few days, that’s kind of scary stuff. Not only that, did vultures or dogs go after it? That’s kind of morbid but it makes me wonder.
The ONLY solution may be the one in "The Hot Zone" - napalm the infected areas.
BTW, I'm not convinced that the kenayn usuper doesn't want to see similar scenes here.
Obummer hates the military, remember? What better way to give the finger to our troops than to send them into a ravished country! Can January 20, 2017 come faster! Please let Republicans pick Ted Cruz or Scott Walker to lead us! WE NEED TRUE LEADERSHIP! DEMONCRATS are KILLING us every day...
I feel for these people but I agree with you. Airdrop food water and supplies to those who survive and wait and see.
I understand sending the Seabees and Army engineers to build more treatment center. Watch this video and you’ll see how badly they’re needed. So I have mixed emotions about sending the military.
But those countries definitely need to be quarantined. Nobody out. Anyone who wants to go help must understand they may not come back for a long time. I really don’t know what else could be done.
On a side note. Liberia, if I remember correctly, was founded by freed slaves from the US. Compare their living conditions to black people in the US.

Did they just say Bloomfield restricted entry into NYC? Sounds like a good idea.
But it’s not airborne.........................

The dogs and the vultures won’t eat infected flesh. Their instincts tell them not to.
