Re: Report: Armed men attack Liberia Ebola clinic, freeing patients
Thanks for the welcome!
Certainty stories of strange illnesses are not uncommon in West Africa. I was cringing through the section in the documentary where they waded through the stagnant water (big no-no!)
The pervasive nature of disease and death has, in many poverty stricken and/or remote places, tainted the worth that people place on life. We will need to watch West Point closely as people with such great proximity to daily suffering may not be capable of rallying to stop an outbreak. It?s hard to ask people that see so many illnesses with such regularity to distinguish one lethal one from another.
The original poster removed his 2 posts from this thread because he felt criticized. He is a really nice guy and I feel badly that he felt this way after volunteering his free time to participate here for many years.
Again - we do not tolerate disrespectful behavior here. This is an emotionally "safe" place to post on the internet. We all have different opinions and we encourage a vigorous debate. This is essential in the search for truth.
Fair warning: People who can not keep their comments on fact and without personal attacks - direct or indirect - will lose the ability to post here. And the disrespectful post will be removed.
If you disagree with someone - just say: "I disagree" and state your reasons.
Liberia says has located all 17 runaway Ebola patients

DAKAR (Reuters) - Liberia has found all 17 suspected Ebola patients who fled a quarantine center in Monrovia at the weekend and transferred them to another clinic, the information minister said on Tuesday.
"We are glad to confirm that all of the 17 individuals have been accounted for and have now been transferred to JFK Ebola specialist treatment center," said Lewis Brown...
Pertaining to the attack on the West Point Isolation Center, this article, Liberia: West Point Inferno - Eyewitness Accounts of Ebola Isolation Saga, transcribes eyewitness accounts of the events on Saturday. All of them are interesting, but I?ll just post a couple below. The rest of the interviews are on AllAfrica transcribed by Wade C. L. Williams.

Liberia: West Point Inferno - Eyewitness Accounts of Ebola Isolation Saga
Harrison Tweh, a resident of West Point gives an eyewitness account of what happened on Saturday at the M. V. Massaquoi Public School
"I came from selling and met a group of people running so I followed them with my wheelbarrow. As soon as I got over there I saw a slim and tall lady; she was the first person that went to the door. She stepped (kicked) the door and said: "Why are you keeping the people here when you are not feeding them? All of you come and get outside." That's how she opened the gate and the whole group entered with force. Some people took mattresses; some took bed sheets with blood stains on them and took it to their various homes. Some took the sick from the mattresses and put them on the floor and took the mattresses away.
I saw some guys with some of the mattresses, running on the Kru Beach towards the river. By that time there was no Police here. The Police escorted the health workers when they were bringing someone to the center, but the people resisted and so the Police took the person back. Some people in West Point don't believe Ebola is here because when you are talking to them to say Ebola is here, they deny it. Some of them say that the doctors have not confirmed that those who were at the center had Ebola. In my opinion, I blame the commissioner and the Representative."
J. Breezo, a resident said the government was wrong to set up an isolation center in West Point
"It is wrong. You did not inform the community and then you set up an isolation center for Ebola patients. Is it because you are the government or because we have no power? Here's my house, at night the people used to be crying saying they are hungry. None of those people in the building were from West Point. They came from different areas. One of the women who jumped over the fence on Saturday requested for water to drink. It was more like a prison."
