This is where normalcy bias can do the most damage. 'Everyone knows' Ebola is an African disease (it can't happen here, right?)

Coupled with initial symptoms which mimic so may other diseases that could cause a problem if/when Ebola infected patients are encountered.

And if you read the article, he attended a festival last weekend.

Joy.

If it was ebola, hopefully he didn’t have a low grade fever and headache and just take some ibuprofen and man up.

It’s time to vent.

The international response to this has been less than pathetic.

Doctors Without Borders is the ONLY major international group that has been making an all out effort to help with this. They have voluntarily put their own lives at risk, but their resources are not nearly adequate.

WHO has been worse than a dirty joke at a funeral.

The lack of meaningful tangible help from the West is no longer possible to ignore.

I am disgusted and appalled.

I also have to ask WHY?
