They're good at what they do, that's one thing I can say about the media outlets.

12668940, "This is Africa" fb page. BUT- turns out 2be a Nigerian in Liberia Posted by Riot, Sun Dec-07-14 12:53 PM
A UN aid soldier
So my bad for only reading the headline and their bad for the smokescreen/clickbait
BOLD PRINT main headline --->>>
TRENDING Nigerian soldier tests positive for Ebola December 7, 2014 — In October, Nigeria was certified free of the Ebola virus disease by the World Health Organisation, but on Wednesday, for the first time in almost three months, another Nigerian tested positive for the virus
--clickbait small print below the fold section-->>
The man – a soldier – is however not resident in Nigeria, but part of the United Nations’ peace mission in Liberia, the country which has been worst hit.
And the author is getting trashed in the comments for being misleading

It struck me as odd that such news would not make headlines in the Nigerian press.

Glad I wasn't in a coma from October to December. "The zombie virus is coming. We're all gonna die!" "Black men are all gonna die" "Bill Cosby raped me too!"

Had to get the illegal miners aka indigenous folks who mined for a living without corporate "licensing".

12669086, here's a good website tracking # of cases to date Posted by akon, Sun Dec-07-14 10:33 PM
http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/144806/1/roadmapsitrep_3Dec2014_eng.pdf http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/case-counts.html
the main concern currently is sierra leone, and guinnea where cases are still rising- and there are not enough isolation beds or resources liberia - the situation is a bit more under control
who estimates that they can get the epidemic under control if they can get 70% of new cases in isolation and safe burial of 70% of all deaths (the period immediately after death is the most contagious) burial practices in w.africa exacerbate the spread of the disease
its far from over... only the news cycle is over in america
