Lessons From Ebola Have Made African Countries To Take The Coronavirus Seriously

A young man protects himself against the coronavirus in Africa


In the year 2014, a disease called Ebola, which had previously hit the Republic of Congo in 1976, struck the West African countries simultaneously in Liberia, Republic of Guinea and Sierra Leone. 



While the US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers of Diseases, told the world that the disease is not a biological weapon but bats responsible, independent scientists and medical personnel, including Dutch scientist, Johan Van Dongen, and the German medical doctor, Wolff Geisler, who weren't interested to support and promote the lies revealed that:

The Ebola biological weapon which they are claiming that bats are responsible for the spread had actually a historical background. The Ebola outbreak had already occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967. 

So if the Ebola virus had appeared in Marburg, Frankfurt, and Belgrade in 1967, then in Congo in 1976, why are they telling the world that bats are responsible for the 2014 Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia? It's unfortunate that people still have trust in the World Health Organization, Centers for Diseases Control and the US government when it comes to an epidemic.

Again, why do people tune in to listen to the mainstream media, including CNN and the BBC, that have followed and supported the blatant lies of the US government, the Centers for Disease Control and the US government, even though they claim have qualified health journalists? These news channels have done us more harm than good.

Promoting the lies of the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and the US government, BBC and CNN told the general public that bats are responsible for Ebola and the disease spread very fast because of bushmeat, including monkeys that Africans eat. 

On behalf of all Africans, I want to ask the US government, the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, what did the world ate for the coronavirus to hit us ferociously in this manner, especially in Europe and America?

They often say that "experience is the best teacher," indeed, the Ebola epidemic which erupted in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia in 2014, has thought the Ebola-stricken West African countries a very good lesson. 

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, have taken strict measures to control the disease more than many European countries and the United States of America.

Sierra Leone which was the only West African country without a case of coronavirus finally reported its first case, when in a nationwide broadcast, President Maada Bio announced that the index case is a 37- year -old male who arrived in the country from France on an Air Brussels flight on March 16 and was immediately put into quarantine.

The man reportedly finished the requisite 14 days isolation at a hotel on Sunday and was collected by his wife yesterday. Apparently, the subject's wife, who is a medical doctor noticed the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and immediately drove her husband to the 34 Military Hospital where he tested positive for the virus.

After battling the worst Ebola outbreak in history, Liberia has taken stringent action in dealing with its first two coronavirus cases. The first sufferer has been identified as a 46-year-old head of Liberia's Environmental Protection Agency, who returned to the country last Friday after attending a conference in Europe.

Rigorous health controls had been in place at all entry points until this case slipped through, breaching protocols set up by health and airport authorities, according to Information Minister, Eugene Lenn Nagbe.

Guinea's health ministry has also announced its first confirmed case of COVID-19. The female patient is a Belgian citizen who has lived in Guinea since October 2018 working for the European Union delegation in the country, according to a statement by the Health Minister Dr. Remy Lama.

The 49-year-old went to Brussels in Belgium on Feb15 for holidays, then visited Nice in France for the period from Feb17 to 21, 2020 before returning to Brussels, according to the statement.

She then arrived in Guinea’s city Conakry on March 3.

According to the statement, the patient was placed in solitary confinement at the Epidemic Treatment Center in Nongo, Conakry. 

It's incredible that these countries have learned good lessons from their pains and nightmares, after the Ebola outbreak, to adhere to strict measures to prevent coronavirus taking over their countries, while they watch America and other European countries struggling to control the disease.
