BBC reports: from the Liberian minister of information:
There will be a 30 day suspension for Liberian workers. The Liberian Army (security force) will enforce limited movement of people who may be fleeing for various reasons. They call these actions as tough and extreme. A call for quarantine has been made again despite the difficulty of staffing select schools that are being repurposed.

Think for a moment and thank the nurses and doctors who are working at the front lines of this war on certain death. The Von Stauffenberg like courage it takes to suit up in plastic field protection and duct tape in 115 degree heat and then remove the protective garb one glove at a time and then the hood and suit with bare hands. These are not like the NASA like suits with separate air supply. They are thin and up to usual disposable standards.
These few nurses and doctors are all that stand between you and the virus that takes 6 or 7 days to incubate and then presents with a preliminary 101 fever that is exactly the same as normal flu symptoms.

So far the global response is far less than what Haiti received after their earth quake and we all know how inadequate that was.

Congress leaves Washington tomorrow and the only sure vote that will be taken is to sue Obama.
