On Ebola and other diseases!!

The BrainBuster

August 06, 2014

On reading official pronouncements about the Ebola epidemic from the press, one can certainly not escape the conviction that our leaders are clueless and hence we are in the midst of an unmitigated disaster.

3 000 deaths daily from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and we are so concerned about 700 deaths in 6 months from Ebola?

600 000 deaths a year from TB in sub-Saharan Africa etc etc......

By all means let us secure our borders, continue to eat bush meat, bathe our dead at home, while we build open drains and throw sewage into the sea....that will do it!

That is the way to become a middle income country, a tourist destination....and the gateway to Africa.
