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.

Strange. Makes you wonder what a “dialogue” about Ebola is.

[Black Agnes]

I wondered that myself.

Maybe to discuss the particulars with that community since many of them have/had visitors from the old country lately?

The ‘Dolo Town’ mentioned in this article is another area near Monrovia that has been forcibly quarantined by Sirleaf. This woman must have either broken the quarantine some how or gotten out beforehand.
