Volunteers from civilised countries go to squalid countries to help provide services the locals could do themselves. Some are drivers, cleaners, nurses or doctors. They would do more good working the same number of days at home and quietly donating to charities to pay locals to do the work in the squalid countries. They could also donate their air fare.

Rather than this more effective way of assisting they want to go and work in the squalor. This ostentatious display gives them kudos amongst their friends, "look at moi, look at moi". It also appeals to the vanity of their rich self importance amongst the natives.

Usually this vanity is harmless costing their civilised homeland only the cost of extricating them from their foolhardy exploits. In the case of Ebola the cost of their foolish vanity is to put the rest of their countrymen at a risk they didn't volunteer for.

If these people want to go that's their concern but they shouldn't be allowed home until after a period of quarantine.

I'm sorry....

But that is the biggest load of CRAP I have ever read....

Vanity?? Kudos?? Look at moi??

I have just finished work, and I fit into one of your 'services' (guess which one), and I have had the unfortunate displeasure of reading your ill informed post (and you got 5 thumbs for it).....

Seriously.....Do you really think people do what they do locally or overseas (as your post paints) for pats on the back?

Unless you work within the health industry as an example, you would have NO CLUE why these people do what they do, or how they think or see the world.

They certainly don't do it for big fat salaries.

How old are you? What do you do for a living? I think those answers would give me some insight into why you would post such crap!
