Doctors Without Borders say control of Ebola epidemic will take 6 months

The International President of Doctors Without Borders, Joanne Liu (pictured left), said today August 15th that it will take six months to bring the current Ebola epidemic sweeping through West Africa under control. She said this after a 10-day trip to some countries in West Africa where the outbreak has so far occurred. Liu, who met with Ebola patients & doctors, said the outbreak felt like 'wartime'
"The main thing I come back to is that it is deteriorating faster, moving faster than we can respond to. To put it in context with my time with DWB, I really feel that it is like wartime, in terms of fear and nobody knowing what is going on. We need a response in terms of international organizations and states, and it needs to happen now if we want to contain this epidemic. Over the next six months we should get the upper hand on the epidemic, this is my gut feeling. We need people with a hands-on operational mindset to combat the outbreak." she said

And who are those with the hands on operational mindset? Six months is a long duration for crying out loud. Imagine the number of casualties to be affected by then. How far with the experiment drugs sent in so far? Has it been administered to any affected patient? Any positive result so far? We really need divine intervention in this matter I'm out. ***CATCH ME IF U CAN***

The NANMHRD (National Association of Nigerian Medical and Health Research in Diaspora) has released a statement that alcohol helps to suppress the manifestation of EVD (ebola virus), subject XI from Liberia is still not sick despite being diagnosed with the deadly disease over a month ago. The NANMHRD speaker MR. Marshall Amnoko took to twitter to urge Nigerians to avoid all primary and secondary contact with Ebola victims, practice good hygiene, wash hands with soap or hand sanitizers. Drinking alcohol at the early phase has been comfirmed by the minister of health prof. Onyebuchi to actually slow down the effects of the virus. As we await the experimental drugs nanosilver and zmapp Nigerians are urged to consume moderate amount of alcohol daily. pls do not ignore this...help create awareness of this dealy virus..share and save a soul

6 months is too long and besides this deadly epidemic needs a rapid respond from both International and local assistance.

Ebola is a spiritual disease... Physically,you need to stay save by maintaining a perfect personal hygiene.... Spiritually,you need to run to God and pray hard. This is end time remember,these are signs which you can see with your naked eyes. Imagine an illness without a cure,so strange. We all need to repent and amend out ways of life. God is always there for his own people and will continue to protect them... God bless u all.
