here is something hopeful..

it says it would take 998 million to control it in liberia..that is amazingly small.

if 100 million working adults in us alone sent $10 there you go.

And of course, as it should be expected, they are revising their customs and practices and understand why they must. There was no doubt in my mind that they would, it was just a matter of how long it would take. You can see on tv that they are using handwashing stations all over, in a place where running water is scarce I believe, they are improvising gloves and booties and aprons out of plastic bags. Even in inpoverished places there are things that can be done..and there are resources that we throw away that they could use..cell phones..why aren't we trying to get millions of cell phones there. In the 1800s people used to have mission barrels for African missions. In 2014 we can't figure out how to get stuff there. It is one of the weakest points of our society and economy.

What do we have for robotics that can clean human waste out of a horrible clinic? We have roombas etc..surely there could be a roving shop vac..perhaps remote controlled..to clean..then a roving thing for chemigation of some sort. Then perfume..as in per fuma..through smoke I think..there are probably things, including of course aromatheraphy, that could be sent through the air to disinfect, to provide some comfort, even some medicine. There are vitamins that could be added to a nutrient drink..vitamins c and d are mentioned.

$998 million..how much will we spend on Christmas this year? Many times that I would think.
