EBOLA EPIDEMIC NOT OVER

‘There are still more than fifty new cases of Ebola every week in Sierra Leone, half here around Freetown where our Ebola Treatment Centre is located. Unfortunately most have a particularly severe form of the disease, which is often fatal. We are worried that this is something new, that the virus is changing, that it’s becoming even more dangerous. For months we had not seen such severe cases, and now they are becoming the daily norm. We are frustrated; we don’t understand. Despite the efforts of many, after six stressful months we still can’t decipher this terrible and complicated disease.
