Why didn't the guy have on gloves and a surgical mask? It may not have been required but I would have worn them anyway.

But, he's probably being paid less than minimum wage so the corp suits obviously looking out for his best interest figured it wasn't necessary so he's like totally safe (sarc tag necessary?)

A four year old girl thought to have ebola lay on a floor covered with bodily fluids at the Makeni Regional Hospital.

Residents of West Point receive rice, beans and cooking oil. They are forbidden from leaving the seaside slum, due to the Ebola outbreak in their community.


Suspected Ebola sufferer Finda 'Zanabo' prays over her sick family members before being admitted to the Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Ebola treatment centre. She and her family left an Ebola isolation centre in the West Point slum when it was overrun by a mob on 16 August. Her nephew Saah Exco, 10, died on Wednesday, after being taken to the JFK Ebola ward in Monrovia.
