parklamson: Listen Igbo people will not listen, hear, they will not hear! All nah business! Business !! And they don't involve a business that is legitimate but illegitimate business, all because of money, now, they've contacted disease that money will can't cure?

21 people DO NOT have Ebola in Enugu, 21 people have simply been put under surveillance for precautionary reasons because she came into contact with them. Do you understand how Ebola is spread? An individual MUST BE SICK, before they can spread it, such as vomiting, stomach pains, bleeding from the ears and eyes.

If she was healthy enough to travel to Enugu and back again, it’s very unlikely she infected anyone.

This is a sensationalist report as well, because they have NOT been quarantined. As I said before, it’s precautionary, since a healthy individual cannot spread the illness. The only time someone with Ebola becomes contagious is when they fall sick.

djeezy: This ebola is spreading like wildfire because Nigerians are not taking it seriously. We joke sbout everything and jeopardise our health. We were blaming the liberian and laying curses on him for bringing the dreaded disease into our country. But here is a Nigerian nurse who ought to know the health implications of mobility without restraints and who the gov averred was under quarantine travelled and has come in contact with so many people. For the sake of all of us. lets hope the experimental drug works.
That's the tragic and scary part of this case, she ought to have know better as a health care practioner. If someone in health care can throw caution to the wind and put so many lives at risk the way this nurse has done, i wonder what an ordinary uninformed Nigerian would do. We should all be worried!

mcino: Shaking my head for some ignorant posts here. There is no Ebola in Enugu. The woman is just on observation facility for having primary contact with the evil sawyer. It is not said anywhere that she has tested positive to it. Besides, it is only when the person has tested positive and is already down with it that he can infect others. Even if TNG woman later tests positive, she might likely not have given it to anybody.

kobonaire:
What, are you sure about that? Sawyer must have known he was at serious risk of getting the virus
1) He cared for his sick sister in Liberia who had Ebola virus and then when she died he returned to Nigeria
2) His employers knew about the risk and so placed him on leave.
3) The Liberian government had him on "quarantine" yet mysteriously released him to travel to Nigeria.
RIP sawyer but that was VERY reckless on his part of exposing others to the virus. I say so because he was an educated individual and aware of the risks.
i agree with u. but lemme give u something to think about.'if he was a doctor would he still had travelled?'

forgive me for commenting like this...

but

Nigerians are dull(except me and some people).... the same govt that hid the ex-president Yar'dua death is the one they are believing. no one knows who or what the nurse looks like... no one knows if the nurse is still alive.

in the next one month or 1 week when people start slumping and dying on the streets that's when Nigerians will realize how bad ebola is..

rdokoye: If she was well enough to travel to Enugu and back to Lagos again, it’s extremely unlikely that she infected anyone there with Ebola, since it can only be transferred when an individual becomes sick. That’s why, up until this day, the only confirmed cases are those who had direct contact with Mr Sawyer; WHILE HE WAS SICK.

With that said, the person most at risk, would have been her husband, if in the unlikelihood she did infect anyone.

This is the kind of rubbish talk that has continued to kill people since March in The Guinea, Liberia and Serria Leone, under-estimating the sheer aggression of this virus. I say and I say again. No one is certain about how and when this disease is spread. Even experienced handlers in full bio gear have died. Wisdom is on the side of extreme caution, viruses do not have timers, they don't have calendars, they respect no one. You can transmit a typical virus minutes after 'catching' it. Until the science is complete I will treat ebola as virile as the influenza virus. It is either we do this or conceed the battle, simple. There is too much laxity everywhere concerning this epidemic. If it was domiciled in the Americas, Europe or Asia the WHO will have raised greater alarm, we should not test the resolve of this virus to do serious damage.

Selfish people - she had to carry the whole thing out of Lagos all the way to Enugu. Probably potentially infecting countless people along the way.

Typical Easterner!

@Ibedun, this is a very sad case, the lady must be really stupid to do what she did.....but you have to mind your choice of words, it could really be offensive...

Must she travel at all, when she duly knows the state and rate of how this EBOLA can spread?

When you watch the news from the major international news channels and listen to how events are been analysed and the depths of the analysis, you wonder if those men attended schools in Jupiter!! When a minister of the Fed Republic speaks, you start wondering if some remnants of prehistoric life forms are not living amongst us!!

It is so depressing!!

what you said is right but you must know that the part of the body the woman used to contact the victim had the virus incubating. if somebody else touches that portion, he can easily transfer it also. When the victim is ill, then every part of his body is infectious. take note
