...this Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer who flew into the country...what was his itinerary...
...where had he been...who had he met and in what country...who are his affiliations...
...what was his job in liberia or America or wherever...
...has he been to donate blood or volunteer as a guinea pig for a drug company or cooperation...
...has anyone enquired about his medical or bank records both in liberia or america...
...same questions should be asked of the oyibos that had been cured...
...One of them was flown back into UK last week and locked up in a secluded hospital unit...BBC is on top of the news and he was interviewed with family as they were all thanking their stars for surviving...
...He was TREATED with an EXPERIMENTAL DRUG...

...really...

then one Senegalese was also flown to germany or so for contacting the virus...three days later...cases were reported in senegal..
...but I bet you...when the case serious now...these guy go vanish into thing air so will his facebook page...

Did the arresting officers wear protective clothing to make these arrests? If they did not and any of the arrested  are found to have Ebola, the SPREAD of the disease continues!
