I think the Liberian government has decided that most of the people in West Point are likely infected and going to die anyways they’re making sure they can’t infect more.
There’s another slum on the other side of Monrovia named ‘Dolo Town’ that is also quarantined and for the same reason.
If several hundred ebola cases have crashed Liberia’s healthcare system they’ve probably ‘decided’ that several thousand that would likely die anyways are just goners that haven’t left yet.
I will be shocked if ‘accidental fires’ don’t happen there sometime over the next several months.
