BTW, Lagos is the financial and business center of Nigeria. Abuja is the national capital. But Port Harcourt is like their ‘Houston’. It’s the center of the oil industry. All the international oil companies have their headquarters and large facilities there. This reason is behind the Nigerian denial denial denial that there might be a problem in Port Harcourt. This is their worst nightmare come true.
Ebola out and about in Lagos would be bad enough given its population density and the damage to business there. But Ebola in Port Harcourt threatens their oil income. In a big way. They won’t be playing around now that they know it’s there.
Unlike Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, Nigeria can afford a police state.

“Local hospitals prepare for Ebola but stress risk is low”
““Ultimately, any U.S. hospital following CDC’s infection control recommendation that’s able to isolate a patient in a private room is capable of safely managing a patient with Ebola virus disease,” Dr. David Kuhar, who is overseeing the Ebola outbreak for the CDC, said during a recent conference call with hospitals.”
As the oil is shipped around the world, so is ebola.
