burning diseased bodies is inhuman?

    and pretend like that is all we need to solve the issue.

didn't

    that we never here about in our daily media outlet in the west.

stop with this

    But if you think about it, despite the bombing and killings, a hot zones like Israel, Palestine, Syria and Iraq, people are still celebrating weddings, birthdays, and making the most of their lives.

non sequitur

I appreciate your perspective and hope your family is taking precautions to remain safe. I don't appreciate you making a lot of assumptions about what I know and don't know about your country, ebola and what it will take to end this outbreak.

I seem to be more or less alone in thinking that maybe, just maybe, basic human dignity and cultural affectations have to be tossed out the fucking window when thousands of people are dying horrifically. Hand sanitizer and more doctors and hospital guidelines and quarantines and everything would help. So would not holding funerals and letting twenty people come into contact with every ebola victim after they die. One of those goals is more realizable than the other, unfortunately.
