Well that is certain - if there is innaction it will of course get worse. MSF can't be replace multiple countries health systems. There is a need for doctors and nurses on the ground. Also there is a need for larger health facilities to be built yesterday.
Yeah definitely. There really is a lack of infrastructure in other countries too that could facilitate its spread way quicker, particularly if more refugees head there as they've been heading to more developed countries with the disease. We do have to address the fear, which is a main issue, but there also has to be a lot more emphasis on containment and treatment. I dunno though, im not even a doctor.
Maybe not necessarily a refugee, but that patient in dallas was from liberia and claimed he was on vacation, and had contact with a lot of people before it was recognized he had Ebola . Theres been other cases in europe too, i think.
