I have spent a little time compiling links to threads about the Ebola outbreak in the interest of having all the links in one thread for future reference.
Please add links to new threads and articles of interest as the situation develops.
Thank You all for you participation.

“Gene Research Yields Insights Into Ebola Virus”
Another editorial about the Science paper on Ebola genetics that came out last week.

“Ebola Outbreak: 39 immigrants from DR Congo, Sierra Leone arrested in Lagos”
“At least 39 foreign nationals were ,yesterday, arrested by Police and Immigration officers in two hotels on Lagos Island.
It was gathered that they were arrested following a tip-off by some residents of the area over fears of the spread of Ebola virus disease.
Upon receiving the report, the Area Commander, Imohimi Edgal, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Area A Command, Lion Building, contacted Immigration and Health officials who stormed Benin Hotel and an unamed guest house, situated on Atere street and effected the arrest of the foreigners, 35 of whom are citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo, while the rest are Sierra Leoneian nationals.
A police source said the Immigration officials will determine if the suspects are legally residing in the country while the Health officials will determine their health status. He also added that all the hotels in the area have been placed under surveillance.
It will be recalled that six (6) people have died from the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the country. The total number of reported cases is fifteen(15) after the Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer flew into the country with the virus on July 20th and was admitted into a Lagos hospital.”
Imagine if you were to place a similar call to our immigration authorities...they’d arrest YOU for intolerance and racism...

Pics of construction in progress. Real beds with mattresses. Hospital beds awaiting their mattresses. Scary looking potty, hope that gets improved in the construction. Looks like they’ve added a wall/barrier just outside the windows to prevent escapes or intruders.
Not Western standards but better than the ones in Liberia/etc.

Needs to monitored closely as it will give clues to how persistent Ebola virus is in a Western furnished environment.
The fact that the hotel has been shut down is indication enough that both the Nigerian government and the hotel chain are concerned in that regard.

Good read. Let’s hope they are correct.
