Thanks Lynn for the updates . It's good that they may finally be getting a handle on this thing .Fighting the disease is one thing handling the aftermath of it will be just as hard , it sounds like the survivors are going to find it very hard to cope and they don't have anything like what we have in our country's to help with grief |

I agree with you on people coping as the disease fades. No new outbreaks is good. Fell so very sorry for the children. :( |

Since last October, I have written several times in the Observer about how our lives here in eastern Sierra Leone have been affected since we were hammered by Ebola in August. My family survived Ebola (my aunt was infected), but because of stigma – there was name calling, like “Ebola pikin dem†(“Ebola childâ€) – we were forced to move across town, to a place where no one knew us. Moving solved that problem but not the hunger and the poverty. Depending on hand-outs was horrible. Sorry you might have misunderstood a post. :( My family never had Ebola, Thank God. :) |

update. Ebola 400 days on: Assuming epidemic is stemmed will only result in 'disaster next door' As Sierra Leone marks a grim birthday, the 400th day since its first confirmed Ebola case recorded on 23 March 2014, IBTimes UK spoke to Rossella Miccio, humanitarian office coordinator for NGO Emergency, who warns against the assumption the epidemic has been stemmed. With around three new Ebola cases every day, Sierra Leone has for now stabilised the outbreak – which was infecting more than 100 people daily at the height of the epidemic in December 2014 – but Miccio says aid agency workers and local residents are letting their guards down. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ebola-400-days-assuming-epidemic-stemmed-will-only-result-disaster-next-door-1498554 |
