There are now 7 confirmed Ebola cases in Lagos and President Jonathan has declared a national emergency and released the pathetically small sum of $11 million to help fight the outbreak. Meanwhile the NNPC clinic in Lagos has been closed down after a woman was diagnosed with Ebola there but authorities have no idea how many people she has been in contact with. More American personnel are being deployed to Nigeria which has never encountered Ebola before and CDC in Atlanta is predicting a small lull, but in 3 weeks time at the end of the incubation period for the virus, they are seriously worried that there will be a huge spike as many more people will be found to have contracted the disease. A number of international companies have started withdrawing staff from Nigeria.
I guess in Bristow we'll just be told to wash our hands more often and not shake hands with each other
