#1 Ebola threatens to destroy Sierra Leone and Liberia

The title is misleading. Both were actually destroyed long ago.

#2 In Sierra Leone, the government has ordered a quarantine of 21 days for every household in which an Ebola case occurred. Soldiers and police are guarding these houses preventing anyone who has come into contact with an Ebola patient from leaving. According to Moninger, that is exactly the right thing to do: isolating sick people - should it be necessary, even with military force.

Yep. That's the only response that will be effective at this stage.

A modern equivalent of plague villages.

We past the point where more medical services and contact tracing would work, a month or two back.

#4 Not just international aid. Lots and lots of international aid. Especially from us evil, greedy, and earth-raping Americans.
