Instead Fatu, who's in her final year of nursing school, invented her own equipment. International aid workers heard about Fatu's "trash bag method" and are now teaching it to other West Africans who can't get into hospitals and don't have protective gear of their own.
Every day, several times a day for about two weeks, Fatu put trash bags over her socks and tied them in a knot over her calves. Then she put on a pair of rubber boots and then another set of trash bags over the boots. She wrapped her hair in a pair of stockings and over that a trash bag. Next she donned a raincoat and four pairs of gloves on each hand, followed by a mask. It was an arduous and time-consuming process, but Fatu was religious about it, never cutting corners. from link. Imagine that! A governmental agency actually teaching people to do for themselves! |

Is the bar really this low in Africa for this to be a story?

Hopefully she isn't blaming herself for the relative, who passed away.

She sounds like a witch. They should stone her to death to release good magic.

Why do they not employ all those who were infected with this strain and survived they now have an immunity to this strain and should be employed to work with those who currently are infected. Still give them protective suits and some training but use them to clean up the mess and bodies, and tend to those in the hospitals.

Does one really have immunity to the strain after getting it the first time? Just curious if they got it a second time, what would happen. |

Random thought.
Anybody think... MAYBE, just maybe it was introduced to the US, so we would put our foot on the gas to make it go away? Use our funds, resources to cure a disease that had been previously limited to a small area of africa. I don't know the answer. But was always taught to think. |

Sounds like the woman deserves a Nobel peace prize. I mean really. How terrifying, and how devoted to them she was, and how brave to stay and fight it with all she had.
In all the chatter about Ebola and how deadly it is, the one piece of information missing in all the news reports is: Once you've had it, do you develop any kind of immune system resistance to re-infection from the same strain? It IS a virus, right? They have said if you survive it, once you get over it you are no linger communicable/infectious to others. Oh good grief. I see above posters already asked thins. Disregard. |
