They have been at the fore front of Vaccine research for HIV for 15 years now with nothing to show and now they offering us vaccine research for Ebola! How many people will remain to see that vaccine ? May the good lord protect us.Amen.

Symphony007: Every member of the nigerian federal government deserve a very good slap from every nigerian. How did a PRIMARY ebola contact make her way to enugu? Not SECONDARY o!!! PRIMARY!!! So all these people they claim are quarantined or "under observation" are free to go about their buisness?? Oh...what a shame. And they think this 21 people they have identified are the only contacts? What of the passangers of the bus she took to enugu? I always knew the nigerian govt but too incompetent to handle this scourge. Every man on your own now o!!!

They are not chained are they?

Re: Breaking: Ebola Goes Out Of Control As 21 Quarantined In Enugu - Fg by Reference(m): 9:27pm On Aug 13, 2014
buJu234: Pls stop being scared for nothing. She would have been only able to infect others only on the ground that she is sick and dead

So if she is not sick and tested negative as per the time she travelled then no one got infected.

But if she was sick then as at the time of this news it would have been a news of another ebola positive patient.

Oh yeah. And neither did Mr. Sawyer 'look sick' when he boarded that flight to Lagos if not the stewards will have noticed and called for a doctor in flight or reported a 'suspected case' to our authorities when he landed as a suspected case coming from an ebola hit country. Where have I heard 'the sickness no dey show for face'.....oh it concerns HIV.....and I thought the 'V' in HIV stands for virus not visitor that rings the door bell and agrees to come back at a later time or date if you don't answer. Some people will show symptoms with a low viral load, others will look normal with a virus racked body, our physiologies differ, our immune systems differ, so are our bodies abilities to resist and fight off the virus so how can anyone say for sure that until you are vomiting and stooling you cannot transmit. That is just ridiculous.

All I no is. Liberia and other west African countries have been battling wiv it since the outbreak, not up to 1000 people have died. If u follow Nigerian press, people will die before the ebola gets to them. Especially nairaland news. If it was so contagious 1 million people will be dying per day. Its just basic hygiene. Even bird flu that was airborne or so, did millions of people die? This is a phase. It will pass.


If it was so bad then nobody would eat again. The food u buy do u no who is cooking it? Even fast food restaurants do u no who is baking and doing all sorts, the bread and tomatoes and meat. Even vegetables do u no where it's coming from. etc. the money u collect in the bank, market, conductors, do u no whose hands it has touched...... stop panicking and just be hygienic and off course be prayerful to. none of us shall be at the right place at the wrong time like the patient that the dead nurse gave the virus too.

You seem to be the only one or one of the few with an intact reasoning faculty.
We're talking about the beginning of what could be termed an epidemic and someone is talking about not creating panic.
The Asian flu took millions. Spanish flu took close to 50 million people. That's close to a third of Nigerias population.
Mode of transmission....incubation period and period of infectivity is still poorly understood in other countries.
The best defense is surely to assume the worst. A Primary contact is different from a secondary contact and she was a primary contact.
All it takes to turn the Secondary contacts to primary is for the lady to test positive. Don't test the resilience of this virus.
The Spanish flu killed several millions less than 100 years ago. The virus isn't counting numbers. It can easily take the whole country captive and shut everything down if care isn't taken

she probably used the same equipment she used in treating Patrick sawyer to treat the pregnant woman. The nurse wasn't showing any symptoms so she couldn't have given the pregnant lady directly
Another vital area; that needs to be seriously scrutinize, nobody is talking about this. You can prevent your self from body fluid contact, but what about hospital seat,beds,and equipment. You need to extend your opinion to those that needed it.

Nigeria has more people per square Metre than all the other nations you mentioned.
Spanish flu killed close to 50 million people so the number isn't so scary when you look closely.
HIV started small and gave enough warning.....it has killed over 35million people worldwide till now.

D same thing that sawyer did is wat yeye woman has done to enugu state. I blame d FG for not puttin her in a cage to prevent her frm going anyhre as a primary contact. Again i blame the liberian authority for this problem. Evidence frm cctv showed how seriously sick d dude was, they allowed him to travel even as they knew his sister died of the disease.

I cast my mind back to the film "24" a dangerous virus was used against the government and the counter terrorist unit CTU. Infected persons were all quarantined and bleeding from their nostrils until they died. Now it's live and direct in Africa. May God protect us and heal those infected In Jesus Name. Amen.

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!
that is nigerians for you. When health personnel and university graduates were gulping down cupful of Nacl what do you expect the not so educated to do? the news media has done a good job enlightening them yet they refused wisdom and sought foolishness in illogical rumors...well what am I even saying? no be for nairaland wey person been dey hail the dead nurse family make dem continue to hide from authority? the poster's reason was that they will get infected while being quarantined..the irony was that a LOT of nairalanders supported the foolish poster.now they are here writing hypocritical posts about someone escaping quarantine? make una continue to dey deceive unasefs for this country.

To be honest, all the governments are really not taking this Ebola outbreak seriously. One may think they know something that we don't. Or they are part of the plan to reduce the number of people in the world by allowing a few to be casualties of this horrific disease. Otherwise they should all just answer the following question:

1) Why are flights from the worst hit countries not stopped and more re-enforcement from other African countries sent there to squash the virus, ensuring it does not cross borders.

2) The so called measures put in place on the borders are a joke. How can you determine a recent infection on someone when the incubation time is so long? So one may get infected 3 days before the travel no symptoms at all for 7-14 days then when the person settle in the destination country boom the symptoms start showing and infection is spread.

4) Why the confusing and decded statements about being ready for Ebola, being on top of it, and lying about being able to trace all not even some but all contacts which is really tough to achieve.

5) The Nigerian government is loosing patients at an alarming rate, what happened to the " DEAD NURSE'S HUSBAND AND CHILDREN WHO SKIPPED QUARANTINE Are they not infectious by now where ever they are, staying with innocent souls who will try to take care of them?

I am just saying our governments are hypocritical in dealing with the matter while we are pulling our hair out in frustration and fear. They seem to be cool, especially those not hit by the epidemic, as if they are waiting to share their own quota. Mschweeeeew

I think people better stop worrying oo, whatever will be will be!

Creating awareness is different from causing panic. Panic is what i see everywhere. People carrying false info and nairaland putting it on front page. It's just wrong. It has died down now. As at last week it was as if the world will come to an end. At times like this it is wrong to pass unconfirmed informations. That is what I mean. Considering how fast false news fly wiv this age of technology. Everybody is just talking their own. Nobody is sure again.



Anyway I don't expect anything less. For now aids and the others u mentioned seems less deadlier than ebola. Bottom line, people should stop spreading false news.

In your view,what exactly is the difference between quarantine and surveillance?
If a primary contact who was quarantined truly absconded to Enough,then the minister of Health should resign immediately.
If she was under surveillance, then they need to stop misleading the public and use the right term each time. Correct information is very vital. Only persons who have complete info should speak in public on behalf of the government. I just learnt that the driver that pocked sawyer from the airport was only tracked down after 10 days and by then he was already in Port Harcourt. Contact tracing is a very big issue in this fight.

But sawyer did not affect anybody in the plane. The only people who got affected are those primary contacts in the hospital. Those who his vomit touched, and also fluid from his body. I am very certain that the nurse after touching or treating him must have made contact wiv his fluid and then transfered it to the other patient.
