Unfortunately, not everyone in Sierra Leone is so concerned. Mark Honigsbaum reports.<\/h4>\n<aside class=\"article__aside\">\n<div class=\"article__aside__section article__share-buttons\" role=\"group\">\n<div class=\"share-buttons\" role=\"group\">\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--text\">\n<p>Dr Ernest Bai Koroma, the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, was having trouble \u2018getting to zero\u2019, and his underlings were getting antsy. \u201cWe need one more push,\u201d said Major Palo Conteh, the commander of Sierra Leone\u2019s National Ebola Response Centre (NERC) and a former Olympic quarter miler. \u201cIt\u2019s like in the 400 metres when you\u2019re 20m from the finish line, that\u2019s the time to kick hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brigadier General David Taluva, a jovial officer with the physique of a shot putter, had other ideas. \u201cPerhaps we should quarantine Port Loko,\u201d he mused to a group of officers gathered outside a Portakabin by the Special Court building in Freetown, now transformed into an Ebola situation room. \u201cNo, wait, then we would have to quarantine the whole country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The officers shuffled their feet awkwardly, then parted to make way for an official late for that evening\u2019s briefing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--text\">\n<p>Taluva was joking, but of course Ebola is no laughing matter. Port Loko is one of the most populous districts in Sierra Leone and the site of Lungi International Airport. Quarantine Port Loko and you effectively cut the flow of international health workers and aid to President Koroma\u2019s beleaguered administration. The problem is that Port Loko, or to be more precise, Lokomasama \u2013 the district to the north of Freetown \u2013 is scored with shallow swamps and twisting rivers perfect for evading the Ebola control measures. And, since February, that is exactly what fishermen and\u00a0recalcitrant villagers in Lokomasama have been doing. The result has been new clusters of infection up and down the country, frustrating the effort to \u2018get to zero\u2019, as the World Health Organization (WHO) calls the elimination of Ebola transmissions (getting to zero requires\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/csr\/disease\/ebola\/declaration-ebola-end\/en\/\">no new cases to be reported in a country for 42 days<\/a>, double the maximum incubation period of the virus).<\/p>\n<h4>Reference:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Ren\u00e9 Dubos\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/books.google.co.uk\/books\/about\/Mirage_of_Health.html?id=okNfr4AuX00C\"><em>Mirage of Health<\/em><\/a>, in which he sceptically assesses our ability to eradicate infectious disease.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/12\/12\/opinion\/jim-yong-kim-world-bank-the-path-to-zero-ebola-cases.html\"><em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0in which \u00a0Jim Yong Kim announces the path to zero Ebola cases.<\/li>\n<li>David Quammen\u2019s\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/books.wwnorton.com\/books\/Ebola\/\">Ebola: The natural and human history of a deadly virus<\/a><\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Nancy Stepan\u2019s\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cornellpress.cornell.edu\/book\/?GCOI=80140100877490\">Eradication: Ridding the world of diseases forever?<\/a><\/em>, which looks at the positives and negatives of attempting to target certain diseases for eradication.<\/li>\n<li>WHO\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/csr\/disease\/ebola\/one-year-report\/introduction\/en\/\">assessment<\/a>\u00a0of the Ebola epidemic one year in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 750px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/ebola-the-road-to-zero-ztpmiomcq?enforceShowPromotionBar=true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10414,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Design flipbooks online.
