The WHO has requested Germany take patients suffering Ebola for treatment.

How strange is this when there is said to be no treatment. Will become extremely suspect if it escapes the confines of the treating facility.

Doubt that the nurses and doctors will be too thrilled to get involved given the risks to their own lives.

"A German hospital in Hamburg agreed to accept patients following a request from the World Health Organization (WHO), Deutsche Welle reports. Doctors assure that the utmost precautions will be taken to make sure the disease does not spread during treatment. The patients will be kept in an isolation ward behind several airlocks, and doctors and nurses will wear body suits with their own oxygen supplies that will be burned every three hours."

I read somewhere or other that this was a case of western "pathological altruism". Sounds like a good description.....bring one of the most deadly diseases into the heart of Europe.
