People are more paranoid than cautious about Ebola. Yes, we need to be prepared in case it comes to our country but as far as I am seeing, like we really want this disease to come here.If doctors are asking for a raise in salary and a $10 million insurance policy if they contract the disease or not, it is showing that they are more interested in making money than trying to save lives.
This is so ludicrous and absurd to hear doctors making these kind of demands. I did not hear any health workers in America making any demands from the US government.I believe the Government should make sure these doctors are educated and equipped, so they will understand more about the virus and they will be able to educate the nation in case this dreaded disease comes to our land.
In my view, nobody really knows what they are doing, everyone is running around like headless chickens and suffering from paranoia. Paranoia caused the Government to ban travellers from Nigeria coming to our country.Both the World Health Organisation and the Centre for Disease Control have confirmed that Nigeria has not had any new cases. It is anticipated that the WHO will announce Nigeria has been cleared of Ebola.
The question was asked why Nigeria was able to beat Ebola but not Boko Haram.I hope the Government will apologise to the Nigerian government.
