I do understand the fear, paranoia and anxieties that comes with this dreadful disease but the very fact that it originated from Africa makes every black soul a suspected carrier in Europe and Asia where racism is institutionalized!

The very fact that "The Czech Republic is among the countries maintaining strict precautionary measures over possible carriers of the deadly Ebola virus arriving from Africa", doesn't mean someone with a common cold should be hurled on a luggage cart and wrapped in a garbage bag from head to toe like trash!
Every Country is being cautious but even dead bodies should be treated with respect!

I won't even doubt if Africans are just victims of an Aryan experiment gone bad!

I think Ebola is not from eating some kinds of animals or birds. The disease, as the symptoms is seen, shows some sort of chemical reactions. How can one be bleeding from the nostrils, mouth and the ears after contracting the disease? Our scientists in Africa must do a proper research to find out what exactly is happening. These animals and birds have been there since long. Africans must wake up and defend the continent. Look at how an African for that matter a Ghanaian has been treated like an animal in the name of Ebola. How can you cover a human being with trash bag like a dead animal.

Its a joke, if the disease had originated in the USA for instance, trust me they wouldn't treat them like this, but rather with care and attention that is required.

That is NOT the best solution. Ghanaians spend 7 days out of 7 at all manner of "churches" praying. What we need to do is roll up our sleeves and actually work. Let's forward plan as to what to do if Ebola enters the country. Let's already set up isolation wards, get equipment to protect our medical staff, let's get on with more public education, etc, etc. What we DO NOT need is perpetual prayer and we certainly do not need the myriad of evangelists, prophets, apostles, bishops, general overseers - you name it!

I hope I did not offend your sensibilities. Let me make a few points: The fact that there are monkeys everywhere does not mean all monkeys carry Ebola. There are mosquitoes in Taiwan but they don't carry malaria (P. falciparum). There are mosquitoes in Florida and they carry the West Nile virus (but not malaria). Some dogs in America, Africa, and Asia carry the rabies virus, but dogs in the UK do not carry rabies. So please let us be as scientifically minded as possible.

Ebola was discovered in Zaire (DRC) in 1976. There were occasional cases in remote villages, and so it never spread. Unfortunately this time round, Ebola in West Africa made an appearance in major cities, with lots of human movement, hence the wildfire proportions it has assumed.

My beef with us Africans in general is our tendency to blame our ills on others. We tend to lay blame based on hear say and our emotions. Let us just think through our problems dispassionately, and seek solutions, if possible home-grown.

I do not think White people will introduce Ebola to Africa in order to make money selling drugs (as some people have been suggesting). Are there not White people in Africa? Do they not travel back and forth to their home countries? Why would they risk such an exercise in futility by introducing a virus that could (and has) turn round and attack people in their own countries?

It is a great pity when people look for scapegoats all the time. I was recently at a funeral where we all hear to put on red funeral cloth - the strange thing is we were told the funeral cloth (I think it is called "Kobene") is rented out, and not sold/owned per se. We all had to wear this funeral cloth that hundreds of other people had used previously - the smell from my cloth suggested it had not been laundered in a long, long time. Now if by chance the Ebola virus were carried in human sweat, would we all not have been exposed to this mortal danger? Sometimes we need to look at our culture and determine if major changes are not needed to stop the spread of disease. Is it still necessary for corpses to be brought home for laying in state? Are our funeral undertakers sufficiently protected when they wash corpses? What about mortuary attendants? Are they protected? These are things we need to be talking about and discussing, instead of looking to assign blame to people "who introduced Ebola to Africa"

Thank you Jason, first it was HIV and now Ebola. African continent is being used for all sort of propaganda. During the primitive ages African were living longer lives but now that the Africa is developing that is when all this so called diseases attacking the continent. Take Ghana for instance we have food and drugs board ( standard board) which is mandated to check all the food and drugs coming to Ghana for wholesome and efficacy, okay Ghana does not manufacture these machines that the Standard board uses we buy those equipment from foreign land and at the same time we import food and drugs from foreign land so what is the probability that if the foreigners want to harm us they wouldn't lace/tint the food and the drugs and calibrate their equipments not to detect that for us to see. The masses will eat or take these foods or drugs then all of a sudden we have epidemic then the same people will come to Africa's aid because of natural resources.

can somebody help me understand how this Ebola Virus get transmited because we all learn that their own brought AIDS Virus was got transmitted through blood contact either by sex or other means , now how can this Ebola Virus which claimed to be gotting from eating an animal got transmited?
can a disease that have gotten from an eating Food transmitted through inhaling or just a Hand shake? where are the so called Africa scientist? could they wake up from their slumber and stand firmly for falsehood?

even if ist through that this Ebola Virus is being got from eating bats -the question is when did it start? because the People had been living with These animals from the Long period of time why now?
anyway they are not to be blamed because if you have a big contenent like Africa and the whole leadership are good for nothing useless to make significant Research ,some People sitting somewhere would produce their own Virus through the test an error and to infect and kill your own People in blackmailing the whole Afrcica,

AFRICA STOP BERGING AND USE YOUR NATURAL BRAINS & resources prudently to proof your humanity to the other part of the greedy world that you are no more a Dumping site

why do you have to pay so dearly to a Propagandist chemist just to make them rich in their Business with your Little resources?

Do not travel out of West Africa unless it is very urgent. Stay put wherever you are at the moment to prevent the embarrassment experienced by this Ghanaian kid went
