Under armed guard, no less.
Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!
Saudi Arabia has announced it will be rejecting pilgrims from Ebola-stricken nations who want to observe the annual Hajj in Mecca. This is to reduce risks of the virus getting into the Muslim country.According to The Guardian, Adel al-Faqih, Saudi health minister, said measures have been put into place to bar Muslim brothers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to enter Saudi Arabia. ....So far, no diagnosed case of Ebola has been seen among the pilgrims who are already within Saudi Arabia for the Hajj 2014. Medical personnel has been deployed in airports to continuously monitor the influx of travellers.The decision to bar pilgrims from Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia has been coordinated with their respective governments. Visas to pilgrims from those countries will not be entertained, the Saudi government said, according to the same report.The pilgrimage is highly regarded as mandatory duty for all Muslims to fulfill.
I was always pleasant, friendly and within arm's reach of a gun.
If government is the answer, it must have been a really, really, really stupid question.
At least two third-world countries have already contained the virus.
Holy crap! If it was me, the sheets and towels would have long since been subjected to boiling water and about a gallon of bleach! Why are these people waiting around for a "contractor" to come in and clean up? Seriously. Put on some gloves and get to work! I sure as hell wouldn't be waiting around for "a contractor."
My solution? Dumpster placed just outside the apartment. Throw the things in the dumpster. Drag it to the nearest open area. Hazmat crew pours gasoline in, and burns it all.
Are you seriously arguing that Nigeria and Senegal have better-organized health and emergency response systems than the United States of America?
In regards to containing the spread of this one disease? Yes. (That may have something to do with their military having both the experience and willingness to shoot civilians who will not obey containment/isolation orders.)
So you're actually arguing that abject poverty and tyranny are actually an advantage in terms of stopping contagious disease?
In the form of slow, difficult, carefully regulated travel, and damn few reasons to travel even if you could, (not like they're going to go spend a weekend in their timeshare at the Hamptons or hang out at Disneyland) absolutely.
There's a very good reason to travel if you live in Ebola Land.
