Ebola and me...

I heard about Ebola during its first and short-live outbreak in Zaire, in 1995. I thought it was a scary thing and that we were lucky when it vanished like it had come. When it returned this summer, I was concerned, but felt that I was the only one.

 

Governments for one, didn't take that seriously at all. Now, that the whole humanity is well aware of it and that the pandemic runs out of control in West Africa, it will take billions to fully address the crisis. Which entity was asleep at the wheel? The World Health Organization, our Governments? It goes to show that the public sector is just good at reacting. Not at planning judiciously.
