Ebola in Liberia

U.S. Effort to Help Liberia Finds Much Work to Do Before It Gets Started

This article tells the dramatic situation in Liberia: in a clearing It was going to build the first Ebola treatment center in Liberia. Tuesday morning the crusher’s engine that needed to smash rocks had broken. All materials (beds, generators ..) have not yet come to the treatment center. Approximately it will take over 10 days to arrive.

This center was created only to serve the medical staff. The longer it takes to increase hospital beds, the number of infected triples. The Liberian who took the virus to Dallas with him was rejected by Liberian treatment centers because of that there weren't beds. He died in Dallas' hospital one day later. If there were beds, this had not happened.

The major problem is that after being built the center, find nurses who want to help. Several nations would colaborate in educating 500 nurses for week. But many believe that this is impossible.

The aircraft sent to Liberia with material couldn't land because the airstrip was in very bad shape because of the rains. So they had to fix the airstrip. 

Build a special Ebola hospital is mort dificult than build a normal one. It has to have insolated rooms and bathrooms bigger than normal bathrooms, because many patients die in the bathroom after hard episodes of diarrhea and vomiting.

Personal Opinion
My opinion is that the most important countries like USA would to invest more money in treatment Ebola's centers. The disease is affecting Africa since six months ago. It has left more than 3500 dead and It's now when the other countries act. I think it's bad because the infected people in Liberia needed help since the beggining.
