“Eight bodies, including those of three journalists, were found after an attack on a team trying to educate locals on the risks of the Ebola virus in a remote area of southeastern Guinea, a government spokesman said on Thursday.”

This ^^^^ is the social dynamic that is TYPICAL of pandemics.

It is FOLLY to send in do-gooders.

Their role in the tragedy is to be vectors into the First World upon their inevitable infection.

I hope this event gets plenty of publicity — and stops do-gooders from flooding into the trauma zone.

The LAST thing the Africans need is a Power Point presentation squad.

All First World health norms are sure to be deemed cultural insults.

Then we disagree.

Also, I have a friend, an engineer, on the ground in Liberia this week. They’re establishing a beachhead for clean water (WaterMissions dot org) and are blogging their journey. 50% of Liberia’s water wells are contaminated with eColi. It’s a petri dish of filth and plain ignorance.

This is the way it works.

If we can quarantine West Africa, we can handle Ebola outbreaks in the USA, as long as the case load does not overwhelm our resources.

But if we continue to be PC, all bets are off. Yesterday three sick crewmen were offloaded to New Orleans hospitals from a freighter last in the DRC…they have malaria, tested negative for Ebola. Another crewman was dumped in the Bahamas two days previously, where he shortly died. There is no super facility in New Orleans for containment, much less in the Bahamas, unlike Emory in Atlanta.
