THE EBOLA MARATHON

Well after denying that Ebola patients had gone missing, probably said they were running the Liberia Marathon or something, they now admit that they have gone missing?

Mind you, you can hardly stay ring fencing people in a place like that our anywhere in Africa I fear?

Of course the tendency to bore think that entire nations ate going to go down with Ebola over this will be common place. Well ... common place to anyone that watches too many movies that is!

As I stated previously it's hardly going to rush around the world like a ... virus but this that have wandered off may end up responsible for anyone they care for contacting the disease and possibly becoming much more widespread in their own country?

When you do want to start shooting that something like this is fake you should at least consider the possibility and therefore the consequences of your actions if you are wrong.

But maybe this ultimate sense of responsibility only affects me?!

A shame that. The world seems to be full of people with misapprehensions?! Of all different kinds too.

It is funny really because I feel I have to leave the house everyday otherwise it bothers me greatly. This is because I have trouble sleeping so if I do nothing I won't sleep and there is very little I hate more than Insomnia! Not my mind of Insomnia! Then there is the boredom aspect that compounds this!

Often I feel wired despite my limping around town with the occasional sharp pulling up due to a sudden flash of intense pain in one or other foot, or back or something else. So much so that, as I often do, add I observe others and study them closely they almost appear to be operating in slow motion?!

It's very weird!

I know this is me but it doesn't feel like it. But it feels as though everyone around me moves and thinks at half the speed I do. This could just be my perception of things or perhaps my condition does a little more hyper then the average individual? I still have get to research deep enough into Fibromyalgia. This possibility of course could be specific to me or could be a more widespread symptom Fibromyalgia? I simply have yet to find out whether symptoms are across a broad spectrum of patients or weather it is more specific to the individual? Or indeed it could be a case that of a combination of both or perhaps only with some individuals and not others?

Regardless of whether a disease or a virus one should always always remain open minded as there is always more to learn in any area of science. Especially when that area is medicine.

EBOLA OR NOT EBOLA

Well things in Liberia are getting a little ... surreal!

Many of the locals in one area are claiming there is no Ebola and in fact often shouting those very two words!

To make matters worse a while bunch of patients have vanished according to one report while according to another escaped while the centre were they were kept was looted?! One man states his son was perfectly OK and now has disappeared and all the nurses have vanished too?!

What in the world are they doing out there?!

Now I am going to assume that because the western Doctors and volunteers have been given an experimental drug and have apparently been doing OK the locals, not receiving it and not doing OK and of course then naturally, think that they are being hoodwinked?!

The moment I heard that the experimental drug was being used only on people being flown back to America I did initially think "ooh that is a recipe for disaster!" Then I just assumed that they would start to give the drug out to those in Liberia who have contracted the Ebola virus? Seemed the logical thing to do so as not to have the locals think they are being left to die as some sick scientific experiment?

Then you start to wonder that if so many people think that it's all faked you do have to consider that maybe they heard something? All possibilities are considered by me despite how unlikely they are.

A possibility is exactly that until it had been entirely ruled out.

If the drug has been given to westerners only and none have died while scores of locals have done then of course it was only natural this would look a little strange.

How can it be that the situation had become so complicated and confusing despite the serious nature and global threat they are facing?!

I think maybe those in situations like this in future need to have at least a basic understanding of psychology? Because if nothing else this situation has shown how things can turn very bad extremely quickly if you do not!
You'd think someone would show them that they are on TV around the world and in all the world's tabloids too? If the locals need convincing I cannot think of a better way than turning in the TV or showing them the websites of the BBC ... hmm no in light of recent revelations and this yet to come that might not be a good idea? Maybe Sky News, NBC, ABC, CNN and this of the Telegraph, Independent, USA Today and the New York Times?

Things to consider ... *rolling eyes*
