Infectious Disease ping - Ebola (Update)- confinement area spreading

flamberge :"What is sad is that Ebola has spread beyond the original containment area.
Ring vaccination with the new vaccines appears to be slowing the spread of the disease but has not stopped it.
..The surviving patients are still carriers of dormant virus for an unknown time period
and may still suffer various damage from post-Ebola syndromes. "

Ebola virus has been found in male patient's testes as long as 6-9 months after infection confirmed.
Recent studies have indicated the virus may also infect the vitreous liquid within the victim's eyes.
Armed social conflict, assaults, and distrust of medical authorities have hampered the vaccination process.
One might think that concentric circles of medical treatment and vacinnation around the infected area
with the 'bulls-eye' being in the most concentrated viral area would be effective,
however fear, and the availability of transport suggest only a strict quarantine would be most effective.

Strict quarantine’s just won’t happen.
