Sadly, the situation in Freetown is getting worse with today’s report revealing 1001 confirmed cases in the Western Area district (Freetown and outskirts). It is concerning that this might be the tip of the iceberg since it only includes cases reporting to a health facility. Since isolation beds are full, sick people are often turned away at the gate and forced to go back home meaning they aren’t tested for the disease yet and they can further spread Ebola at home if that is what they have. As beds open up, sick people are transferred to a facility or someone waiting outside the gate may be lucky to get in. In an overcrowded urban setting, numbers are going to increase exponentially. I fear that Ebola will not only be a continuous part of daily life as people take precautions, but it will become a real life event for many people who will lose family members and colleagues to this dreadful disease, not to mention to other diseases due to the lack of healthcare in the country at the moment. In contrast to the USA, where the chance of someone knowing a person infected with Ebola (much less die of Ebola) is very small, for people in Freetown, the likelihood is far greater.

“Every person in the US even placed under observation for Ebola has been reported to death.”
Seems it is very easy to slip into exageration, even when trying to sound very even handed and “reasonable”.
If you are serious about sources of information the following two sources have been reporting “non-biased” reports on ebola, plus Hanta, Mers, etc. from around the world.
If you start with page 1 and read through to today, it reads like a fiction story. When I read some of the news, I thought to myself that if I read that info in a fiction novel I would put it down as too outlandish a plot.
Today’s page carries a link to the latest warning from WHO for men to abstain from sex for three months. The fact has been reported for some time, WHO is just getting around to warning about it officially. While I would love to just trust the PTB, I think I will just continue to keep myself as informed as possible and err on the side of caution.

Also Pro Med compiles reports from official sources:
Quick. Bring them all to the United States. Give them citizenship and jobs. It is only right and fair.
Hi tcrlaf,
I’m brand new here but active on SB ebola threads. I started tracking Ebola cases when the AP quit. Site: http://shtfdashboard.com. If you want Ebola-only info: http://shtfdashboard.com/category/pandemic/ebola-alert/
I keep the site updated 6 days a week and monitor about 1000 local and international sources. I keep #s on a map that is in beta, but I feel OK sharing it with you here: http://shtfdashboard.com/ebola-alert-map/
That’s all the self-promotion I feel OK doing.
Thanks for the ping!
