They need volunteers because they don’t have the workforce to do this anymore This is exactly what happens when you destroy the public health institutions in this country
ABC News@ABC

The CDC sent an "urgent request" to its workforce to recruit personnel to help screen passengers coming from Central Africa for any potential signs of Ebola illness, according to an internal email to staff obtained by ABC News. abcnews.link/GnxrRuD

Eastern #DRC now faces a catastrophic collision of disease and conflict with the #Ebola outbreak in Ituri province outpacing the response. The Ebola Bundibugyo virus has no approved vaccine nor treatment. Stopping this Ebola transmission depends entirely on humanitarian access. Yet ongoing clashes are driving mass displacement, pushing exposed contacts into overcrowded camps and severing critical containment corridors. Frontline workers are risking everything, while attacks on health facilities make tracking cases and their contacts nearly impossible. We cannot build community trust or isolate the sick while bombs are falling. We urge all warring parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire to contain this outbreak. To allow us safe and sustained access for medical teams. We plea to prioritise human survival above everything else.

The White House is intent on keeping Ebola out, at all costs. The U.S. is planning to send Americans exposed to or infected with Ebola to Kenya, instead of bringing them home for care. Please read and share—this is unbelievable and infuriating. craigaspencer.substack.com/p/keeping-ebol…

Can someone explain the rationale behind spending millions of dollars developing and sustaining biocontainment units in the United States if, when Americans are potentially exposed to #Ebola, the plan is now to send them abroad instead of caring for them here? Now we are reportedly considering building or supporting facilities in Kenya with unclear protocols, unclear standards of care, and unanswered questions about who will staff and run them. None of this makes sense from a preparedness, operational, or ethical standpoint.

Wow does anyone understand how insane this is We have an entire system of biocontainment units where they have planned and prepared for over ten years for this scenario Now we are sending PHS staff who have been training for three days, many without clinical expertise to staff a unit in another country for high risk American #Ebola patients. This is going to have awful consequences
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Members of the U.S. Public Health Service have already begun training at Joint Base Andrews to staff the facility, according to people familiar with the response. One person expressed concern that the training period was only three days, which experts say is not sufficient. wapo.st/4dxCt5E

The Trump administration is setting up a facility in Kenya to care for Americans with Ebola, an administration official tells @jmhansler. "The facility is designed to provide access to high-quality care for Americans who would need to quickly get out of DRC and quarantine without the risks of a lengthy transport back to the US," the official said. "Time is of the essence for Ebola patients, and this facility will enable Americans in the region who contract Ebola to receive lifesaving care as quickly as possible without 12-plus hours of medevac flight time," they said. Facility being set up “through a coordinated effort" with the State Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Pentagon. Some public health experts are criticizing this move -- arguing it puts health & humanitarian workers at risk while blocking American patients from getting best care. US already has state-of-the-art biocontainment units & those facilities cannot be recreated overnight, @KrutikaKuppalli notes.

“Africa, if you add up the 55 countries of the African Union, that’s about 1.5 billion people—same size as India, same size as China. The big difference is that the imperial powers divided Africa into 55 little countries, not one of which can thrive on its own, whereas India and China, because of the history, remained. So I tell them every single time I have the opportunity that the African Union is the key. As 55 you can’t make it, but as one African continental economy you can make it. So what’s happening now is Africa’s population is continuing to rise—it’s the only place in the world with rapid population growth—and all the others are declining. Everyone else has peaked or is just about to peak or actually beginning a decline. Africa’s population today is 1.5 billion. By 2050 it’ll be 2.5 billion. That’s a lot, adding a billion people in the next quarter century. If you go even farther and just try to extrapolate based on current trends, Africa’s population reaches about 3.5 billion. According to the UN’s most recent forecast, 3.7 billion by the end of the 21st century. And Africa goes from being 9% of the world population to being more than 30% of the world population. It’s going to be a completely different world. What do I say to African leaders every time? Be Africa-wide. Second, get on quickly with mass education, because that is the key to economic development. Third, look at what China did—follow that model.” —Jeffrey D. Sachs, American economist.✅
