More from the article provided by Shiloh:
...
President Sirleaf?s comment was in reaction to barrage of calls from Liberian lawmakers as well as international organizations that the government and its many functionaries that are spear heading the fight lack the requisite expertise, experience and knowledge required to contain the virus.

The head of Medicins Sans Fontiers (MSF) also known as Doctors Without Borders, recently called for United Nations intervention -- military medical expertise-- to effectively combat the scourge n West Africa.
...
President Sirleaf endorsed a statement made by Health Minister Walter Gwenigale that Liberia will not relinquish the Ebola fight to non-governmental organizations...

Meanwhile, President Sirleaf had also rejected the WHO?s prediction that over 20,000 people will die in the affected countries before the Ebola disease is contained.

"I do not accept that prediction?no! I say no to that. Tell them that may be their arithmetic and calculator?s projections, but we will solve Ebola so that we do not have those numbers of people dying. That's our challenge; that's our responsibility; that's our commitment that we must make to ourselves to prove them wrong," said the Liberian leader.

This is highly frustrating. I guess we are all in for the long haul.
