Thread Name: BS: Ebola and the Missionaries
Subject: RE: BS: Ebola and the Missionaries
There is not when there is a tremendously fatal epidemic going on. Saving lives will be harsh and cruel. There are things people can donate certainly, there are ways of praying, socializing etc. from a guaranteed distance, which I do not know what it would be. I think any assembled group must be broken up now where ebola has taken place. Certainly rituals around the dead must be stopped..I am confident they have been but you never know. Niceness will kill in this situation. I also think we need to think in terms of arm extension tools...easier done here with robotics etc. but certainly long tongs, large paddles for scooping up the decomposed bodies, anything to avoid touching the remains. Also I am wondering if animals could be trained to bring water or whatever.
