Helen Branswell Nails It, By Tweet: Saudi Arabia Is Taking Exactly The WRONG Approach To Ebola Fighting...

You should follow Helen on Twitter, just as you should follow CIDRAP, up in Minnesota, if you want to be well informed on the current Ebola emergency in Africa. [I admit I have not posted every update, having been fully-occupied by immigration legal matters, here.]

This House of Saud approach is exactly what the WHO counsels against. Here's the bit:

. . . .And it starts: Saudi Arabia suspends visas to people from DRC a week after @WHO declares the year-long #Ebola outbreak there a public health emergency & 2 weeks before the start of the Haj, the world's largest annual mass gathering. . . .

We cannot return to the dark ages, here. We must vaccinate -- vaccinate -- vaccinate. Not create 21^st century "leper colonies". [Off now, to an Iron Man weekend, road-tripping toward. . . points generally. . . south-ward. Be excellent to one another.]
