some interesting comments on social media about ebola infection in west africa. Lucinda Kolehmainen-Huber · Museum School of Art Are we getting the true story about Ebola? The medical teams know the risk when caring for someone with it so how are the doctors & nurses catching this? I see them in the suits with masks and eye covers if it is spread by bodily fluids where did these people get it? Makes me uneasy thinking we are not getting the whole story! Reply · Like · 26 · Follow Post · 14 hours ago Lucinda Kolehmainen-Huber · Museum School of Art This is getting really scary! 4 days ago they mentioned on the news that the doctor flown home to the USA that had Ebola was going to be interviewed so they could ask how he caught it. Funny no answers so far and they already had the interview! We can only read between the lines here folks. God bless us all.

They failed to recognize it for over 24 hours and all the health care workers who worked with him were contaminated. Then, the Nigerians did not quarantine the health care workers who went home and probably exposed their families or coworkers to it. Much of this situation has been caused by stupidity, arrogance, and lack of proper standing of how to handle situations such as this. I am quite sorry, but I do believe anyone who wants to travel to these countries, who lives in them, has visited them, or been in the countries should be subjected to a 22 day strict quarantine if they insist upon traveling to other countries after being there. They will scream bloody murder over such a move, but issue the warning to tho...
