It's worrying that the Liberian man who arrived in Lagos on an Asky flight last weekend has died in a private hospital. Our government has said that it has put all airports on red alert and has traced all the other passengers who were on the flight and is monitoring them, but I have no faith that this is the case.
According to our own government figures there may now be as many as 21 million people in Lagos and most of the city is terribly overcrowded. It doesn't help that our government doctors are all on strike. What happens if more cases are found - will our expensive (and not very good) private hospitals wasn't to have any Ebola cases there and risk being quarantined by the government. I just hope that there will be no more cases in Nigeria as this is a terrible disease with a very high mortality rate.
