Ursula Buffay 73 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I'm so terrified. Honestly, everyone who has been to that area needs to bring themselves to a hospital to get checked out immediately. Even if they feel fine, because it's known that symptoms don't show for a week or two. Why do ppl keep going there anyway :s Edited August 6, 2014 by Phoebe Buffay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagaNasia 0 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Um, why did he not get screened if he was coming back from West Africa? Why did they not check themselves beforehand? Ugh. More reasons to freak people out. There's nothing to fear. because the symptoms generally don't show up right away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogFood 1,649 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm terrified. Hopefully that woman in Ohio is fine, too. I'm actually becoming scared of leaving my house. Where I live, I'm sure people go on extravagant vacations to Africa, and who knows what they were exposed to I'm being overly paranoid, but this disease has haunted me for years tbh There's someone in Ohio that may have it? I live in Ohio. :cry: MEGHAN TRAINOR | Katy Perry | Taylor Swift | Lady Gaga | Rihanna | Ariana Grande | Beyoncé | Nicki Minaj | Sam Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mast 980 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 That is what I was thinking - we may just not know everything about this virus and a deadly enemy we can't see is the scariest of all enemies. I agree that the medical staff is doing everything they can and it's contained properly and being treated by one of the best health care systems in the world. However, contained properly is the important phrase - I really don't think they should let anyone from that part of the world on any plane to any country. If it can take up to two weeks for symptoms to arise, much damage can already be done at that point. They weren't exactly flying on United... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Why don't we just stop all flights from west Africa coming and going Because you have American citizens who are coming back to the US. There were hundreds...even thousands of US pre-med students and Peace Corps volunteers in west Africa over the summer. There are also the US doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who have been volunteering in parts of west Africa. What do you want to do? Deny these US citizens entry back to the US?

Applause 650 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Liberia's president declared a state of emergency on Wednesday to combat the ongoing outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa, as the country began implementing quarantine checkpoints. The country’s president, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, said that the scale of the Ebola outbreak represents a threat to Liberia’s security. "The government and people of Liberia require extraordinary measures for the very survival of our state and for the protection of the lives of our people," she said via statement. "I...hereby declare a State of Emergency throughout the Republic of Liberia effective as of Aug. 6, 2014 for a period of 90 days." The World Health Organization announced that 932 people have died from the recent Ebola outbreak, as the organization begins to consider whether experimental d--gs should be deployed to West Africa to help contain the situation. The WHO is to decide whether it will declare an international public health emergency in order to deal with the outbreak in the coming days. According to Reuters, the WHO said Wednesday that 45 more people died as a result of the virus between August 2-4, raising the death toll closer to 1,000 in what is being billed as the world's worst Ebola outbreak. The organization estimates that approximately 1,711 cases have been detected so far. Liberia was hit the hardest over the past few days, with 27 of the 45 newly tabulated deaths occurring there. Sierra Leone was home to 13 of the deaths, and Guinea had five new fatalities. While the outbreak has primarily affected these three countries, the WHO said the number of suspected Ebola cases in Nigeria rose to nine after five more were discovered. A Nigerian nurse who was assisting with the treatment of Ebola patients in the country has reportedly passed away from the disease, while a Saudi Arabian man believed to have contracted Ebola during a trip to Sierra Leone also died Wednesday morning. Additionally, a key hospital in Liberia – St. Joseph’s Catholic – was shut down after a Spanish priest and six others were diagnosed with the highly contagious virus. Spain is expected to transfer the priest to his native country.
