I guess folks in Monrovia, Liberia were a little upset that Ebola patients were being housed and treated in their neighborhood – so they decided to loot the clinic, for some odd reason. From the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

West Point residents went on a “looting spree,” stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press. The residents took medical equipment and mattresses and sheets that had bloodstains, he said. Ebola is spread through bodily fluids including blood, vomit, feces and sweat.<\/p>\n

“All between the houses you could see people fleeing with items looted from the patients,” the official said, adding that he now feared “the whole of West Point will be infected.”<\/p>\n

Some of the looted items were visibly stained with blood, vomit and excrement, said Richard Kieh, who lives in the area.<\/p>\n

The incident creates a new challenge for Liberian health officials who were already struggling to contain the outbreak.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, oh, yeah, the patients that they were treating, they fled the scene, so they’re wandering around with a deadly, highly infectious disease in a major African metropolis.<\/p>\n

Ebola has killed 1,145 people in West Africa, including 413 in Liberia, according to the World Health Organization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
