1. A person who has made contact with an Ebola victim does not present the symptom immediately
2. His temperature does not rise abnormally as soon as he has made this contact .
3. He doesn't start vomiting immediately
4. He doesn't bleed immediately
5. But the virus is gradually incubating .
At this stage , he doesn't present any symptom and cannot be diagnosed until the virus has fully manifested .

This means , if Mr A makes contact with an Ebola victim , B and immediately decides to travel , the airport's screening facilities will not be able to detect him and if he eventually lands in the target country and gradually , the disease starts manifesting, one begins to wonder how he managed to bypass the airport's screening .

Do you think this is effective ?

Comments please

I totally agree with you but what can be done? Air travel can't be stopped or else the economy will suffer, I guess the only solution now is to tackle this problem at the root.

I'm proud of Nigeria stepping up with 591 volunteers about to be deployed to Liberia, if other countries can stop seeing this is an "African problem" but rather see it as a global one, then we can employ an "all hands on deck" approach.

My suggestion is more countries should get involved and nip this thing in the bud, it's time for the world to come together, break racial/economic barriers and stand as one.

I think they still call it an " African disease "
