With Boko
Haram on a killing spree Nigeria is a dangerous place
Today even
more frightening news of Ebola virus laying waste
In a world
now flat with borders so easy to fly over and land
Ebola was on
a flight from Liberia a disease we humans cannot withstand
West Africa
is a cauldron for this sickness that almost always kills
There is no
vaccine, there are no life saving pills
When will
open up the news to hear someone with Ebola has stepped off a plane
Having
infected passengers heading off to cities and town making it impossible the
spread to contain
No outward
signs of illness only enduring another lousy service flight.
Days later
infected not knowing it and unable to withstand the viruses’ deadly might.
Serious
stuff and one hopes the CDC has put its anthrax handling mess behind.
If not, this
country and any nation accepting passengers from the area of infection could be
in a real bind
