EBOLA-Sierra Leone:-The HERO Pharmacist who died alone in the jungle to save others from Ebola. [The Deep-Eye-Water EBOLA catastrophe]. *********************************************************** Scenes like these make one gets mad at some government officials trying to put a spin on a virus as deadly as Ebola. They keep telling people that everything is just fine and under control until you are confronted by the grim reality of the killer Ebola virus. How low can we sink as a nation when nobody responds to the so called 117 emergency number, no ambulances to transport the sick, no beds and people are dying for the want of a hospital bed, no co-ordination, no penalties for gross incompetence that is costing lives and dislocating communities permanently, no accountability and scores of people are dying everyday across the country. This is just too much to stomach right now. Its too much. Scores of people have come out to watch. The men silent, staring in grief, frustration and plain disbelief. The rustling of the plastic protection suits is the sound cue. The body stretchered by masked, hooded, gloved and suited Red Cross body-retrievers. They said that the first body in Deep Eye Water had been a community pharmacist working – guess where? Yes – Devil Hole where people have died horribly all this week. And he treated – guess who? Yes, Mohamed Kamara who died an appalling, public Ebola death for the want of a hospital bed across four terrible days this week. The pharmacist then fled, knowing he was ill. Knowing why. In doing so he knew he was doing something dangerous. They found him this morning down in a gully where the last huts of Deep Eye Water meet the jungle. Lost to Ebola, in a final selfless act, this man had apparently taken himself away to keep his community a little bit safer. There, he waited for Ebola to take him. (Oh Allah-All-Mighty help our country. Help our country. This is too much for us to take-in, day-in day-out) .May their souls rest in peace.
