Nigerian Nurse With Ebola Dead by sartorius(m): 11:11am On Aug 06, 2014 |
Nigeria recorded its first known fatality from Ebola virus infection with the death of a nurse in Lagos, the commercial capital, Health MinisterOnyebuchi Chukwu said. The nurse had attended to Liberian government worker Patrick Sawyer, who became sick from the virus after arriving on a flight to Lagos and later died on July 25. Five other cases are being treated in Lagos, Chukwu said in a statement handed to reporters today in Abuja, the capital of Africa’s most populous country of about 170 million people. Nigeria may try to obtain some of the experimental Ebola therapy given to two Americans who contracted the disease in Liberia, Jide Idris, Lagos health commissioner, told reporters yesterday. The outbreak of the Ebola virus has killed 887 people, according to the World Health Organization. Most of the cases are in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, on West Africa’s Atlantic coast. Nigeria does not share a border with any of those countries.

candy: Sad but not unexpected. If only our gvt. had been sensible enough to put a screening point at the airport before that raw wickedness manifested its ugly self in the name of Patrick Slayer!*Hiss* Soo true my dear. This is so unfortunate! Unfortunately we know this is just the beginning. All because One man was allowed entrance despite the fact he was coming from a country with the pandemic. If only we were proactive on time, this dutiful nurse will still be alive. May her soul rest in peace. US is waiting for millions to be infected before they will make the drug available. How i wish we had invested in research and development as a continent. We are just so backward. And truth is we have no excuse. We got brains in the African continent, but no leadership. #weeps for the black race# |
