ABUJA – The doctor in Lagos who treated a Liberian victim of Ebola has contracted the virus, the second confirmed case in sub-Saharan Africa’s largest city.
“This new case is one of the doctors who attended to the Liberian Ebola patient who died,” said Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu.
Liberian finance ministry employee Patrick Sawyer was found to be infected with the virus when he arrived in Lagos on July 20. He died in quarantine on July 25. SOURCE : www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/breaking-news-nigerian-doctor-treated-ebola-patient-infected-virus/

BUSTED!!!!

No time for wishy wishy and denials, all hands should be on deck. The govt should fight this instead of visiting TB Joshua, there should be lot of awareness campaigne on the media. No one should underestimate this disease- it is as bad as you hear and even more frightening for it to be in a place like nigeria. Doctors ve been on strike nothing is been done about that. If the doctor who treated the liberian man has it. There is very high likelyhood that the nurses and cleaners who attend to the man has it, chai! God help us all

Lord help us!

This is very scaring. What should we do ?
