Ebola Must Be Contained In 60 Days Or The World Is In Big Trouble - UN. by Nobody: 9:05am On Oct 15, 2014
The UN says the ebola outbreak must be controlled within 60 days or else the world faces
an "unprecedented" situation for which there is
no plan.
The United Nations made the stark warning as it
warned that the disease "is running faster than
us and it is winning the race".
Nearly 9,000 cases of ebola have been reported
so far in West Africa, including 4,447 deaths.
"The WHO advises within 60 days we must ensure
70% of infected people are in a care facility and
70% of burials are done without causing further
infection," said Anthony Banbury, the UN's
deputy ebola coordinator.
"We need to do that within 60 days from 1
October. If we reach these targets then we can
turn this epidemic around."

Nigeria has done well in the fight against the scourge ebola, but this is no time to relax. The mere proximity of nations still battling the disease means Nigeria is still at risk.

A second healthcare worker has just been confirmed to have contracted ebola. Americans are now very scared. Look at this comment I copied from an American forum:

We took it for granted, comments like "well, we
have a more advanced healthcare system capable of handling this compared to africa.. blah blah" were the all over ebola threads last weeks, comments with information about the epidemic were being ignored for puns and jokes..

Rejoicing a little too soon, perhaps?

This is a deadly disease that we dodged a bullet on due to luck being on our side. If Ebola becomes a full blown pandemic across neighboring countries do you think our porous border will keep us safe?

We got lucky with the last outbreak because the high level official got sick at the airport and was taking to one of the best clinics in Lagos that treats expatriates.

Can you imagine if the index patient had crossed into Nigeria through Cotonou in a public bus and headed to one of the slums in Lagos? How long do you think it will be before the patient sees a doctor in one of the state hospitals that is capable of testing for Ebola? How many acquaintances, family members, passengers, patients, nurses, and doctors do you think such a person will infect along the way?

So now that Ebola has entered the almighty USA
and Europe the world is in big trouble ba but when Ebola was in Guinea,Liberia and Sierra Leone the world was still in small trouble ba.
What even happened to their zmapp I guess it went on vacation.

When ebola plague Africa it was not a threat to the world but Africa's problem and now that it moves to the US and EU it becomes a threat to the world, this is a fraud. I remember some EU countries were stigmatising Nigerians and other Africans then, I thing the right thing to do at this time is to stigmatise the citizens from US and EU, Africa countries should properly scrutinise them and make them go through rigours before they could be allowed to enter Africa or transact any business with them, they all should be treated as ebola suspect including Obama.

I still have this feeling that Nigeria may witness another Ebola incidence.

Exactly my point. And I'm not rejoicing yet. We have to stay alert.

Of course. If it spreads there, other countries have to screen US citizens for Ebola.

Yes. Ebola isn't out of the picture just yet. I hope the Nigerian government shares the same sentiment.
