An interesting twist to the death in Nigeria. From the Pandemic Flu Information Board:

The lies and coverups are starting to unravel out there. This was just posted by Dr. Niman over at rhizalabs.

A doctor, who secretly treated a diplomat who had contact with the index case, Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, has died of Ebola in Nigeria.

The doctor, who has yet to be named, died on Friday. His wife has also taken ill and has been quarantined in Port Harcourt. Interestingly, the diplomat the doctor treated is still alive.

The diplomat, who was part of the team who met with Patrick Sawyer in Lagos, flew to Port Harcourt, Rivers State for treatment, evading Nigerian federal government surveillance for the disease. The late doctor then took him to a hotel for treatment.

As a result of this, 70 people have been quarantined. The doctor's hospital, Good Heart Hospital in Rivers State, has been shut down. The unnamed hotel, where the secret treatment took place, has also been shut down.

The Minister of Health and the Rivers State government are expected to make a statement on the incident tomorrow.

Breaking: Nigeria Records New Ebola Death In Port Harcourt

I expect the statement to be more denial. Reading statements from the Nigerian Health Minister remind me a little too much of Baghdad Bob.

I wonder if this diplomat was one of the friends Sawyer was with when he was reportedly throwing up before he went to the airport.

The Sawyer contact tree continues to grow. It’s a signal that the professional/privileged class is subject to the same fears as those of ones trapped in poverty but is more adroit at evading detection and/or covering up symptoms.

That class will be the vector that causes international break-out as they have the means to flee West Africa to the western countries, their passage oiled by the social arrogance of UN types.

UN/WHO’s tenacious insistence that air travel and border controls not be implemented leaves the gates wide open for these runners and the majority ot those newly infected will not be poor/ghetto class.

Decades ago a retired Fifth Ave doctor, in his cups, shocked dinner party guests with his revelation that the number of wealthy and famous patients with STDs would astound even the National Enquirer but money and social power kept the lid on, The Africans are no less proud and arrogant.

Black Agnes, with your West African experiences, maybe you could tell us more of social constructs there.
