Ebola in Liberia through the lens of a photographer

Very touching photo essay, thanks for posting it.
The most frightening thing about this is we have a radical Muslim and an enemy of the United States as President who would allow 4 Americans including a US Ambassador to die because of a freakin election. So what is he hiding this time?.............
Oh wow. That breaks my heart. Those poor people.
Thank you.
Stop air travel and send massive supplies and setup field hospitals to help them. That’s the right way to stop it and save millions of lives!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Will you add me to your ping list?
thanks
“Journalism” and mass media is going to bring the Four Horsemen.
Back in the Day, nobody gave a sh.t; the villages that got infected were quarantined and the disease never got out and about.
Now that we are forced to look at it on Time-Warner and Comcast (think of those forced communal viewings from ‘1984’). And we are supposed to feel guilty that we don’t have these f%$ked up problems.
At some point you have just got to say ‘better them than us’, and their problems are their problems, not ours.
Done. Be advised it is a VERY high volume ping list. I won’t be the slightest bit offended if after you’ve spent a while drinking from the firehose you want off!
God help those poor people.
We must all remember them in our prayers.
I was annoyed this evening because the picture on my little kitchen TV was iffy. Shame on me.

Ambulance Work in Liberia Is a Busy and Lonely Business
Tragically beautiful. Or beautifully tragic. It hurts to see them. The parishioner breaks my heart, sobbing in his empty church, pastor and so many dead.
Liberia was Hell BEFORE Ebola!
Haven’t been there and now I see no reason to go....nothing in hell I want to see, besides around here we have a saying ‘to get to hell you have to go through Atlanta’....no thanks.
Yet this photographer, who was stomping around active ebola hospitals and body removal teams, got on a plane and flew home knowing she could potentially spread the disease.
Insanity.
