Cuban volunteers who travelled to Sierra Leone still haven't started work. "They're staring into space. They didn't come for this. If they'd wanted to go on vacation, they could have stayed in Cuba." A nurse, "F," who didn't want to reveal his name, is one of the 165 doctors and nurses sent by Cuba to fight Ebola. They came as volunteers to help, to "save the world" from the worst health crisis since the outbreak of HIV. Instead they spend their days hanging around the swimming pool.
