IN the NEWS - West Africa Crises


"The scientist who discovered the Ebola virus said that a current outbreak of the deadly bug in West Africa, is “unprecedented.”

One, [this is] the first time in West Africa that we have such an outbreak,” Dr. Peter Piot told CNN.
Secondly, it is the first time that three countries are involved.
And thirdly it’s the first time that we have outbreaks in capitals, in capital cities.”

Doctors Without Borders warns that the outbreak in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia is now “out of control.”

“With this strain of Ebola, you’ve got like a ninety percent chance of dying. That’s spectacular by any standard – one of the most lethal viruses that exist.”

The current outbreak is “already a mega-crisis,” Piot said.
“For me, this is a reason for a state of emergency, you know, in these countries.”
“You need a combination of nearly military type of control measures – isolation, quarantine of those who are the diseased – but also their relatives, to make sure that they’re not spreading the infection.”

And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou?
And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
