BRITISH SAILOR ON MERCY EBOLA MISSION LEARNED DAYS AGO VIRUS HAD KILLED 8 MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY. Royal Navy Marine Engineer, Mr. Christian Blango, originally from Moyamba District, Southern Sierra Leone is heading to Freetown on board the UK medical ship - just days after learning that 8 members of his family were taken down by the virus in Southern Sierra Leone. Mr. Blango is part of a 750-people British contingent heading to Sierra Leone to help authorities there suppress the killer virus that has devastated Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone and turned once laidback lands as counties of endless deaths, sorrow, fear and scare. The disaster that has befallen the Blango family began in early September when an Ebola-infected patient, returning from Kenema, the then Ebola Ground Zero in Eastern Sierra Leone, walked into the medical clinic that Christians medical practitioner father, Dr. Blango, operated in a town called Moyamba Junction. The patient soon died to be followed by Dr. Blango. No one among Dr. Blangos family and friends knew at the relevant time that the Ebola virus was the cause. So traditional funeral arrangements commenced. He loving widow, together with other close family members, meticulously prepared the her husbands corpse for burial. She then had his remains laid out prominently in her living room for 5 consecutive days unaware, of course, of its deadly contagious powers. With cell phones all over the place, word had gone out to relatives and friends of her husbands sudden passing. Whereupon relatives and friends, including many prominent personalities in the area, near and afar, visited the Blango home to show their deep respects as Dr. Blango was a highly respected personality throughout the Republic of Sierra Leone. Visits to private homes to mourn Sierra Leone departed beloveth is not a simple affair. It is an whole day event with food, refreshments, songs, music, speeches, weeping, even the staging of native pageants to be concluded each mourning evening with prayers and remarks by clergy. And an integral part of the mourning process is the TOUCHING of the corpse as an act of perpetual love and respect as well as good wishes on the passage to the Great Beyond. From that Event of Family Love at the Blango home, many mourners got the Ebola infection and spread it to their own friends and relatives.
