Obama's Ebola response: Is it enough and in time?
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama declared Tuesday that the Ebola epidemic in West Africa could threaten security around the world, and he ordered 3,000 U.S. military personnel to the region in emergency aid muscle for a crisis spiraling out of control.
The question was whether the aid would be enough and was coming in time. An ominous World Health Organization forecast said that with so many people now spreading the virus, the number of Ebola cases could start doubling every three weeks.
"If the outbreak is not stopped now, we could be looking at hundreds of thousands of people affected, with profound economic, political and security implications for all of us," Obama said Tuesday after briefings in Atlanta with doctors and officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Emory University.

"The Ebola epidemic in West Africa has the potential to alter history as much as any plague has ever done.
There have been more than 4,300 cases and 2,300 deaths over the past six months. Last week, the World Health Organization warned that, by early October, there may be thousands of new cases per week in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. What is not getting said publicly, despite briefings and discussions in the inner circles of the world’s public health agencies, is that we are in totally uncharted waters and that Mother Nature is the only force in charge of the crisis at this time."

"container of water mixed with detergent " ???????????
"Giboroh border
The tour team later proceeded to The Gambia-Senegal border at Giboroh, West Coast Region (WCR). At the border, health officers provided a container of water mixed with detergent where every passenger from Senegal must wash their hands clean before they are screened. According to the health officials at the border, over 400 people come from Senegal every day and all of them undergo thorough screening before they are allowed into the country."
