Now no shortage of docters and all.

Do you have any proof for this? Even before the epidemic, Sierra Leone had 2 to 3 doctors for every 100,000 people. That means a total of somewhere between 100 and 200 doctors to serve a population of 6 million. A large number of these doctors died as a result of the EVD, and there is no replacement for them.

I don't care what the WHO says. I am not going to visit that country ever again in my life. Now things will be difficult in Sierra Leone. A large number of doctors and nurses are dead, and there is no way that the government is able to fill those vacancies. Even earlier, there was an extreme shortage of physicians in Sierra Leone. Now it is going to be worse.

In sierra leone people at there, They are suffered by ebola from may 2014 They done many riot in their cities like Freetown and other cities But now It came to end. People in Sierra they are celebrating that now and WHO also announced as Sierra leone in free from Ebola disease. Now no shortage of docters and all.

'Bye bye Ebola': Sierra Leone rapper's video hits the right note

From twerking policemen to acrobatic footballers, residents rejoice in Block Jones clip celebrating end of the country’s epidemic

http://youtube.com/watch?v=YRhXoLjHruM&feature=youtu.be

Sierra Leonean rapper, Block Jones, is a master of understatement. “Ebola passed by the nation, it caused some frustration,” he sings in a music video released to mark the end of the epidemic that ravaged the country, infecting 8,704 people and killing 3,589.

The virus wiped out entire families, devastated communities and forced people to change their lives after the first case was identified in May 2014

But on Saturday the country marked 42 days since any new cases were diagnosed. This, according to the World Health Organisation, means that it is safe to declare the epidemic over.

“Thank God it’s gone, a new day has come,” raps Jones, in the song featuring the Freetown Uncut collective. The video is called Bye Bye Ebola, and it might just be the most heartwarming three minutes on the internet.

It shows staff in Ebola treatment centres, fully garbed in their protective rubber suits, dancing in empty wards. You will see policemen twerking at the checkpoints that were vital to prevent the disease’s spread of the disease.

So I guess that means we should take the WHO ruling as a grain of salt. Its Ebola free until the next person contracts it

Well... Ebola is not a very common virus. In the past 40 years or so, there has been 6 or 7 epidemics reported from the entire African continent, with most of the epidemics occurring in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ebola is not an air-borne virus, and it is spread only through body contact. So I am slightly more optimistic with the reports coming in from Sierra Leone.

You're missing the point. Nobody has reported the infection but that doesn't mean it isn't still a threat. This is Sierra Leone, not the United States. The same health standards don't apply

I know that. But I was referring to the WHO methodology in my previous post. The WHO will declare a country as "Ebola-free" if there are no confirmed cases for 42 days (6 weeks) on continuation. I know that this methodology is not very safe, as there were multiple incidents in Sierra Leone and Liberia where the family members hid their Ebola infected relatives from the health authorities.

Grain of salt?!

WHO and the military created and distributed Ebola among the countries of Africa, and maybe more.

The WHO Chronicle noted by 1968—ten years into the WHO's viral research program—"WHO virus reference centers" had served as authorized technical advisors and suppliers of "prototype virus strains, diagnostic and reference reagents (e.g., antibodies), antigens, and cell cultures" for more than "120 laboratories in 35 different countries." Within a year of this announcement, this number increased to "592 virus laboratories.. [and] only 137 were outside Europe and North America."

Over these 12 months, the NCI and CDC helped the WHO distribute 2,514 strains of viruses, 1,888 ampoules of antisera mainly for reference purposes, 1,274 ampoules of antigens, and about 100 samples of cell cultures. More than 70,000 individual reports of virus isolations or related serological tests had been transmitted through the WHO-NCI network.

42 days....did I read that right? It only takes 42 days between infections to declare an entire country ebola free?

If someone gets infected with the Ebola virus, then he will start showing the symptoms (diarrhea, red eyes, nausea, stomach pain.etc) after one or two weeks. If no one in a region is showing any Ebola symptom for 3 continuous weeks, then that region can be considered safe. But still I don't know from where they got this 6 weeks time-frame.

You're missing the point. Nobody has reported the infection but that doesn't mean it isn't still a threat. This is Sierra Leone, not the United States. The same health standards don't apply. There are large portions of that country that don't even have reliable electricity, how are they supposed to report an infection that they might know nothing about?

At best, it is Ebola-contained, not Ebola-free. An active epidemic can start again at any moment as long as you have unchecked reservoirs in wildlife.

The population is increasing very steeply in that part of the world. So obviously there will be people cutting down the forest and encroaching it. Also, the demand for bush meat means that the poachers will venture deeper and deeper in to the forest, where the game is abundant. So unfortunately for Sierra Leone, the future is not looking that bright.

Until africans don't change their ways and keep eating bush meat and their primordial traditions they will be always on the brink of disaster!!!!!!!!

I don't think that anyone will be able to change this behavior overnight. The Africans have been eating bushmeat for ages. But no one got Ebola back then. As the traditional religion was abandoned in favor of Islam and Christianity, the natives began collecting bushmeat from "no-go" or forbidden areas, and even the latest epidemic can be attributed to such incidents.

Oh come on. Declaring that doesnt really matter when there are a lot of people who died

Why not state that a cure is already a 100% percent effective?

BREAKING NEWS: The FDA admits that their claims about MMS being dangerous are not supported by any scientific evidence. http://mmsnews.org/316-breaking-news-the-fda-admits-that-their-claims-about-mms-being-dangerous-08-12-2015

MMS is very inexpensive and easy to make. From http://mmswiki.is/index.php/Ebola_protocol:

Quote

We can’t guarantee that MMS will cure Ebola; we have not had sufficient opportunity to test it out. But for the last 17 years, MMS has cured most every disease known throughout the world, including malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya virus, HIV/Aids, cancer and much more, so there is a good chance it will do the same with Ebola. More than 20,000,000 people have used MMS and hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved. If Ebola becomes a threat to you, or your loved ones, you might want to implement the protocols below, but again, know that MMS has not yet been proven effective with Ebola for lack of opportunity to properly test it out.

The experimental protocols described in this article are official sacraments of the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing. The user accepts 100% responsibility for any and all use made of any information herein.

...

- MMS stands for "Master Mineral Solution" this is the name of a mineral solution used to help "un-well" people recover their health.
- MMS is a 22.4% solution of 80% sodium chlorite powder or flakes (NaClO2) in water.
- MMS1 is activated MMS. It is MMS plus an activator, when the two are mixed together they produce chlorine dioxide (ClO2).

DuPont™ Chlorine Dioxide

Produced on-site, DuPont™ Chlorine Dioxide is a selective oxidizer for biofilm treatment, mainly for water treatment facilities that are affiliated with a refinery or power/utilities plant. It is also a very effective biocide to control process water and waste water environmental issues associated with mill and process water. This solution can also be used effectively as a disinfectant, algaecide and oxidizer in influent process waters and waste waters.
