Ebola Team Killed in Africa
[quote]Eight members of a team trying to raise awareness about Ebola have been killed by villagers using machetes and clubs in Guinea, officials say.
Some of the bodies - of health workers, local officials and journalists - were found in a septic tank in a village school near the city of Nzerekore.
Correspondents say many villagers are suspicious of official attempts to combat the disease.
More than 2,600 people have now died from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
It is the world's worst outbreak of Ebola, with officials warning that more than 20,000 people could ultimately be infected.
Neighbouring Sierra Leone has begun a controversial three-day curfew to try to stop the spread of the disease.[/quote]

1 ReplyMaybe we should not be sending troops and medics. This can, and likely will, spiral out of control. The only way for it to hit the West, and do a good job on us is if we have a lot of people come down with it. Sending troops, who will likely be in close proximity to infected people seems like a good way to increase the number of Westerners that will return with it. At this point, it may be in the world's interest to not fly into Africa, break all railway lines going into it, and cut it off. Let this burn out naturally. Given how the people are reacting, and how the supposedly simple precautions the CDC says halts the spread are not being followed... We may not be able to do anything but make the situation worse.
