WHO deploys volunteer medical workers to respond to #Ebola by World Health Organization (WHO)
Would the doctors return to Sierra Leone or accept a deployment elsewhere if there is a need? “Absolutely”, both reply simultaneously. Both Catherine and Mauricio are mid-way through their three-week deployment to Kenema, one of the most affected areas of Sierra Leone since the #Ebola outbreak was declared in late May. They spend 7 hours per day inside a treatment centre, fully dressed in personal protective equipment, caring for between 40 and 50 patients a day. Everybody – from security guards, ambulance drivers, cleaners and professional health workers – should be trained to properly use the equipment so that they can keep doing their job safely.

So far as nitty-gritty research findings about the Origin of Ebola is concerned,all those redherrings attributed to the "Black Monkey Theory" and so on,are all falsehood intoto.
The WHO should come out clean and vivid.

I just heard over the radio that the temp in these protective suits could get to about 100 degrees! Be safe and don't contaminate yourself with your own gear. May God's protection be with you as you do his work..

People in West African countries have tendency of eating a bust meat. So, to what extend is WHO educating the natives to stop eating the bush meat since it might be infected?
