A Timeline of the Deadliest Ebola Outbreak
Another alarming issue arose as armed locals attacked and looted an Ebola treatment center in West Point–a township of the Liberian capital city of Monrovia. There were up to 30 Ebola patients being treated at the center at the time of the raid. Many of them fled during the attack. The attackers stole bloodstained mattresses and bed sheets, potentially exposing the heavily populated district to the outbreak, as the virus is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids from infected people. West Point residents reported visible excrement, vomit and blood stains on the stolen materials.
These looters attacked the Ebola treatment center due to widespread mistrust of the local government and the belief that Ebola is “not real.” This created a new challenge for Liberian health officials who were already struggling with containing the disease, especially since West Point is one of Monrovia’s most densely populated slums, home to an estimated 75,000 people. The exact amount of damage this attack has caused is unknown at this time.
Various nations have taken extreme measures to avoid the spread of the Zaire ebolavirus from West Africa. This includes nations such as the Ivory Coast, which has closed its borders with Guinea and Liberia for an indefinite amount of time. The Liberian government has also entirely quarantined the communities of West Point and Dolo Town due to the outbreaks in those districts and their potential to spread rapidly.An extreme outbreak in the Congo would likely prove catastrophic, given that it shares borders with nine large nations, including Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi.
Here is a brief timeline of the deadliest West African Ebola outbreak to date:
