Nigeria Declared Ebola-Free by the World Health Organization (WHO)

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Nigeria to be Ebola-free...http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/ebola/20-october-2014/en/

Good news. Now Liberia and Sierra Leone need some help to achieve the same outcome.

The virus will still be lurking somewhere in the animal population so a broad education campaign will need to be undertaken to head off the next outbreak before it gets a hold. This could happen anywhere in Africa.

Multitudes die of flu every year and yet this hysteria over Ebola has people in panic mode. BTW, make sur to get your shot...

Read in the "Age" (Melbourne) a few days ago that this outcome in Nigeria was achieved by drinking 1 and one third gallon of water mixed with salt and sugar on a daily basis?
Could this be true?
Has anyone else read this?

 

[JustQuinn]

yes Susie , I saw that keeping hydrated was the key to recovery.

 

[Ralphy1]

Will a martini work?

 

[Vivjen]

Don't forget the salt and sugar Ralphy, and about eight pints a day....

 

[Ralphy1]

Hmm, doesn't alcohol consist of some sugar. And I'll eat salted peanuts with a pitcher of martinis...

 

[Vivjen]

You are getting there, I feel

 

[Twixie]

That's excellent news..they have got it beaten..now maybe they could help their neighbours?

 

[Vivjen]

Senegal has also been declared Ebola-free.

 

[Twixie]

So how will they ensure they stay ebola free, with the disease ravaging the neighbouring countries?

Stay the schnockered and you won't care if you get ebola.. or won't know it.. either one.
