The mesurado river is about 150m wide. A kid could do it. I know it's not fun but one can wonder... What about crows or any bird eating infected corpses/food or displacing belongings? Or even the waves taking away contaminated trashes or vomit? I'm not even talking about insects There's no way IMHO they can quarantine the whole area. |

But the quarantine of an entire urban neighborhood, where an estimated 60,000 to 120,000 people are crammed into crumbling shacks, has proved to be more than just porous. It has also led to deadly clashes with soldiers and may even be helping spread the disease, experts say, forcing people to crowd together for basic humanitarian aid, like food relief. |

Sounds like the movie "Empire of the Sun", that's terrible no matter what. But, you throw in Ebola, it's hell on earth. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |
