PRESIDENT OBAMA PROMISED TO HELP WEST AFRICA FIGHT THIS RAPIDLY-FATAL EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE, SO WHERE DO WE STAND ON THIS ALL-IMPORTANT ISSUE ?? Earlier this month, U.S. President Barak Obama released a video statement on the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa. In the video, Obama directed his comments to West Africans navigating the epidemic. He explained how Ebola is -- and isn’t -- spread and reiterated the United States’ commitment to providing assistance. “You are not alone,” he commented in closing. “Together we can treat those who are sick with respect and dignity. We can save lives. And our countries can work together to improve public health. . . .” We’re now learning more about what that American response entails and how much U.S. support West Africans can really expect. A recent U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) press release commits to “providing resources for 1,000 new beds, 130,000 sets of personal protective equipment, and 50,000 hygiene kits.”
