What kind of idiots are going to Nigeria
“What kind of idiots are going to Nigeria”
Someone in the give-me-dat class.
Nigeria, believe it or not, is Ebola-free.
How did this happen, after a Liberian-American diplomat named Patrick Sawyer fled quarantine in Liberia and went to Lagos, infecting some 20 people.
Nigeria, unlike the USA, fought back! They banned all cross-border traffic from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Gambia. No people off of ships or planes from those countries also. They locked up and treated EVERY person Sawyer had contact with.
So just last week the World Health Organization (WHO) certified Nigeria as Ebola free. The organization arrived at the decision because no new cases were reported in the country since after the outbreak back in August, caused by Sawyer.
Too bad we are not as thorough.
The ones who are trying to collect the $30,000,000 some Nigerian Prince promised to them in an email.
To be fair, Nigeria currently does not have an Ebola epidemic. We have more cases here. AND they have travel restrictions.
They’re actually doing better than we are and, from this public health standpoint, a person is safer in Nigeria than they are here.
Hell, *WE* are sending people to Nigera to figure out how they’re managing this so well. OUR CDC IS TAKING LESSONS FROM NIGERIA.
So, yes. The district is over reacting.
