Latest on Ebola news…I am combining the news from the UK and Nigeria
This doctor is stating a fact…….in my opinion….just read…Professor John Ashton, the president of the UK Faculty of Public Health, has claimed there is no cure for Ebola because it affects minorities(Africans).. He said it was the same case with Aids as treatments were only developed when it started affecting western countries .Writing in the Daily independent, he said
We must respond to this emergency as if it was in Kensington, Chelsea, and Westminster.We must also tackle the scandal of the unwillingness of the pharmaceutical industry to invest in research to produce treatments and vaccines, something they refuse to do because the numbers involved are, in their terms, so small and don't justify the investment.. And we must "get real" over economic development.
However, in both cases it seems that the involvement of powerless minority groups has contributed to a tardiness of response and a failure to mobilise an adequately resourced international medical response. In the case of Aids, it took years for proper research funding to be put in place and it was only when so-called "innocent" groups were involved (women and children, haemophiliac patients and straight men) that the media, the politicians and the scientific community and funding bodies took notice.
So, in trying to strike the balance between complacency and panic, we should welcome the prominence given to Ebola over the past week
State Govt warns TB Joshua not doors to Ebola Victims in his church
Meanwhile,…….In a bid to contain the dreaded Ebola virus, the Lagos State Government led by the State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, visited Pastor TB.Joshua's Synagogue to advice them against opening their doors to people from West African countries with the disease .
Idris said,
“We have our strategies that we intend to share with you. Again, we need to know the resources you have here because whether it is one or two cases, if they are allowed to get out, it is a major problem. We are here to work together on how to contain this disease.”
Another member of the delegation and Director, Centre for Disease Control (CDC), Professor Abdulsalami Nasidi said
We are here to engage you positively, we know the powers of this House and your powers and we are duty- bound to protect you and your congregation. We have no doubt the power God has given you, we cant do that, but we want to help and make it work stronger
Reacting to their visit, Prophet Joshua, promised to work with government by suspending most of his major church healing programs and also said , he would visit those countries than allow their residents come to Nigeria
In his words
