By Monday, the strike was official ? and Liberia?s Ebola patients were pissed.
?We decided to control the epidemic, as soon as we noticed symptoms, we [came here to] avoid further spreading,? one patient said on a radio station run by the United Nations peacekeeping operation here, which goes by the acronym UNMIL.
?We need water. We have money on us. We?re asking them to honor us, to buy us water,? he said, calling from the Ebola treatment ward at the John F. Kennedy Memorial hospital, which is Liberia?s largest referral facility.
?The situation is pathetic,? another patient, Emmanuel Wolbah, told UNMIL radio by telephone from the same Ebola ward. ?We are not dead yet.?
As others pled, Wolbah lost patience. ?We are not waiting for anything. We?ll go find food and water for ourselves,? he said. ?There will be Ebola patients in the streets. We?ll go find our own food.?
