Re: Ebolagate 1.0: is the Ebola virus fact or fiction?
Luxembourg is a rich country, even if it is only medium-sized.

It's alwyays necessary to mention Luxembourg! Especially if we're too cool to help less well off nations. BAU.
Africa? What's Africa? We don't know what that is.

Re: Ebolagate 1.0: is the Ebola virus fact or fiction?
Area resident who had visited West Africa has been quarantined in OSU Medical Center in Tulsa because they were running a fever. Officials say they are a low risk of ebola infection because they were not exposed to ebola patients during their visit to Africa. Samples have been sent to the CDC for testing, now awaiting results. In the meantime, the patient tested positive for malaria, which probably explains the fever.

Test results were negative for ebola, but he's still going to be quarantined for 21 days.

Land of the free. Imprisoned for a disease you probably don't have and wouldn't be infectious while non-symptomatic if you did.

Survivors cope with new Ebola after-effects - Africa - Al Jazeera English
Quote:
Three months earlier, doctors gave her the good news - after weeks of fighting the disease, she had finally beaten Ebola. She would live.
Back in her home neighbourhood of Nyandeyama, a quiet suburb of sandy streets and mango trees, she found out 22 members of her family were dead, including her parents. She had no money, so was unable to go back to her tailoring business, and many of her possessions had been burned by terrified neighbours.
Then, just when she thought things couldn't get worse, she began to lose her eyesight.
...
Kamara is one of 40 percent of Ebola survivors to have gone on to develop eye problems
...
Seventy-nine percent, for example, now suffer from joint pain; 42 percent have problems sleeping, while more than one-third of those surveyed experienced peeling of the skin. Many others reported problems with their reproductive system.
|
And there is still a widespread social exclusion affecting recovered Ebola survivors.
Plus:
Quote:
Of all the survivors Al Jazeera spoke to, the horrifying experience of 38-year-old Zidane Konneh best exemplifies the problems they face - though with one bizarre twist.
Thinking he was dead, hospital staff had put him in a body bag and thrown him onto a truck that was to take him off to be buried. British nurse Will Pooley, himself now an Ebola survivor and the only British citizen to have contracted the disease, had noticed movement from the bag and opened it to find Konneh still alive.
Konneh survived but a staggering 38 members of his extended family died. Those still alive became social pariahs.
