News didn't reach u from anywhere. Nobody said u shouldn't shake hands, please. Stop misleading the public. That was how someone started the salt-water rumor and some people died while drinking salt water.

Nigerians and their love for spreading bad news and panic messages. SMH

Didn't you also hear that a carrier of the virus only transmits it when the symptoms start manifesting?
As far as the person is looking healthy and walking about normally, he/she can't transmit the virus at that stage.

No one said u shouldn't shake hands. U were told to maintain a very high level of hygiene. Wash ur hands regularly with soap and water.

When panic messages like dis are broadcast, it is difficult for the common to know what is actually a proven preventive measure and what is not.

And when u spread false rumors about where Ebola might have gotten to and where it has not, it makes it difficult for the health surveillance to know how to really trace the disease.

As usual, we are always our own enemies. We like creating chaos just for the fun of it and sometimes to d detriment of our own selves and our loved ones.

He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.
Count your teeth with your tongue, OP.
