Christine Lagarde wearing this message on her button at meeting of the IMF & World Bank, attended by all the serious heavies on the planet, pleads against isolating Africa – which is already suffering a de facto economic embargo in the affected countries, while the rich & notably U.S. are reverting to their isolationist knee jerk and circling the wagons.

Wall Street pointy heads & Washington pundits are spawning spread sheets & projections – lies, damned lies & statistics. Airline & Catering stocks are plunging.

Do not believe a word – the statistics are vastly under-stated, the virus is vastly contagious. The danger of a pandemic is real.

AIDS is a lonely death, EBOLA is the death of a family, a village, the mother who comforts her dying child knowing that she is thereby condemned – the ultimate gang bang from Hell.

Meantime thousands – doctors, nurses, just folk are giving up their safe lives to care for Ebola sufferers in hellish conditions – blood, shit, pus, filth & human suffering that defy description. Worse than Dante’s inferno…

Read their diaries in the New York Times – Dr Hatch, Nurse Bridget Anne Mulrooney who amidst this horror discover an infinite capacity to give and receive love and blessing. « To see a guy…dying pray for you? »
