I too watched that last night. What struck me was the interview with Brantly in which he stated they had seen 45 patients at one point.

Only one of which had survived. One. That’s it.

VOA 9/19/14 Guinea Halts Part of Ebola Outreach After 7 Murdered CONAKRY, GUINEA

The Guinean government said it is stopping Ebola education activities in the country’s southeast after seven missing health workers and journalists were murdered there this week. Two other workers remain missing.

In Guinea’s southeastern town of Wome, the bodies of four Ebola campaigners and three local journalists traveling with them were discovered Thursday in a mass grave. They had been missing since angry residents attacked their convoy Tuesday.

The victims were traveling with a government delegation to Wome to raise awareness on Ebola.

Villagers attacked the convoy with stones and weapons and destroyed six vehicles. Other members of the delegation were beaten but managed to escape.

Outreach activities have become “impossible” in the southeast, said Dr. Fanta Kabba, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Health. She said efforts there will now focus just on treating the sick.

This is third major attack on health workers in southeastern Guinea since the regional outbreak began there early this year.

Minister of Communication Alucine Makanera, who was in Wome, told VOA the murdered workers had marks indicating they were attacked with machetes and stones.

A septic tank is a "mass grave?"
