Liberian officials fear Ebola could soon spread through the capital's largest slum after residents raided a quarantine centre for suspected patients and took items including bloody sheets and mattresses.
The violence in the West Point slum was led by residents angry that patients were brought to the holding centre from other parts of Monrovia, Tolbert Nyenswah, assistant health minister, said.
Up to 30 patients were staying at the centre and many of them fled at the time of the raid, said Nyenswah. Once they are located they will be transferred to the Ebola centre at Monrovia's largest hospital, he said.
West Point residents went on a "looting spree," stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorised to brief the press.
The residents took medical equipment and mattresses and sheets that had bloodstains, he said. Ebola is spread through bodily fluids including blood, vomit, feces and sweat.
Meanwhile Obama took a break from his vacation, to come back to work.
Just saying.
Might be nothing.
If they don’t want to follow Whitey’s rules of quarantine then let them suffer the consequences.
Yea, but there’s something more to this. Looks like some are itching to catch this disease and spread it. ? Muslims?
Planning.
They should get some.
I’d say it is ignorance, fear, and hate.
Keep in mind that Muzzies worship death.
Call off the Darwin Award nominations for the rest of the year, if not the rest of the decade. I don’t think anyone could possibly top this.
There will be blood...
So how many of these have to take place before it gets a serious foothold in this city of 2 million people?
any moment now I fully expect 0failure to offer free passage to any children under the age of 75 into the US
Wow, between kissing the dead, and looting an ebola quarantine center (words fail me), these Liberians are a smart bunch!
Bring Out Your Dead
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...
Abdul: “Hey, Hussein, what are you doing having sex with your wife now?”
Hussein: “Mohammed says we can have sex with them for 24 hours after they die.”
Abdul: “Yeah, but she died of Ebola.”
Hussein: “I’ll wash my hands off later in the river.”
Per Twitter last night, the Center was attacked by a mob that told the patients the government was lying to them as an excuse to crack down, that they didn’t have Ebola, but malaria.
Stupid....
OY. It could still be terrorists though. I’m not sure ebola would make the best bioweapon, as there is no way to protect your own people from getting it.
Suicide bombers don't worry about such trivia.
It’s a reality version of “The Walking Dead.”
Although, this may be a Darwin Award winner waiting in the wings.
“residents” raided the clinic? that’s an odd spelling of the word “terrorists”
