Are Liberians Ebola Terrorists Or Just Ignorant by ttmacoy: 6:46am On Oct 05, 2014
The case of sawyer is well document. How he travelled to Nigeria despite the known risk he could have been infected with Ebola given his sister who he lived with recent died from ebola.

Now we have Thomas Eric Duncan who travelled to Dallas to visit his sister despite the risk of him being infected given he had contact with a pregnant woman who had ebola and was convulsing when trying to save her.

Question is why would they be traveling to other countries knowing the risk they pose?

Let's assume it was all innocent, the most annoying part is Duncan family were quarantined given he had stayed with them hence they were at risk.

Four of his family members (his sister and her kids I think) actually ignored the quarantine order and left the flat prompting a judge to issue a quarantine order and have armed guards ensure they stayed in quanrantine.

Now after your brother had put people lives at risk by importing ebola, you then ignore quarantine to put more people at risk.

It is ignorance that has allowed the virus spread to the epidemic level faced in Liberia e.g. people due to rumours and superstition ignoring medical advice, attacking health workers or not reporting cases on time leading to faster transfer as people were not quarantined.

Nigeria need to be vary wary about flights from Liberia going forward.

Is this just sheer ignorance or is there something else happening?

Liberians are medical terrorists, they know what they are doing. I will not be surprised if they now have a way of deliberately supressing their symptoms to beat health checks at airports.

Maybe they feel neglected and they don't want to go down alone, but whatever they are doing they are doing on purpose; infect as many people as possible. If they had accepted ebola as true and followed laid down prevention guidelines, they won't be where they are today. They sure brought this upon themselves.

Nigerian government better think twice and ban Liberian nationals from entering, even if they don't live in Liberia. Desperate situation calls for desperate measures.

I mentioned in a previous post that they must be very generous since they love to share, they're suffering from "let's all die together" syndrome.
