\"Ebola
Ebola blisters occur all over, both inside and out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Following heavy media coverage of Ebola, a nursing home patient in the US demanded her long-time African staff nurse be allowed nowhere near her room. Racism? Try ignorance. The patient herself was African American.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization issued warnings for all countries to institute contingency measures in this international health crisis. So the question becomes, how is Dominica doing in this regard? And more importantly at the moment, are there any risks posed to us by overdramatizing the threat?<\/p>\n

Ebola blisters occur all over both inside and out.<\/p>\n

No one argues that it does not get much scarier than Ebola. The disease has now spread to a fifth country, brought to Senegal by a university student. A separate outbreak in the Congo, features a pregnant woman who contracted haemorrhagic fever and died despite medical treatment. Her condition was later diagnosed as mutated strain of Ebola, but not before it killed a number of her relatives and caretakers. Included in the toll were the surgeon and two nurses who operated on her, a medical assistant and hospital lab tech.<\/p>\n

Apocalyptic scenes are unfolding in some stricken areas. Desperate shortages of \u2018space suit\u2019 protective gear, no isolation facilities or even running water make remote health centres breeding grounds instead of places of recovery.<\/p>\n

Approach wisely<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to note that this is restricted to a very limited area of the continent. Our African students generally come from highly sophisticated areas of Africa where development far exceeds ours. To perceive them as refugees or here for charity simply flies in the face of the facts.<\/p>\n

Even before Ebola, African students in Dominica have been subjected to a number of slights. At a time of infestation by Black Sigatoka, giant snails and poorly understood disease decimating the crapaud population, customs officials have to be extremely vigilant about pest importation. However, there are reports that care packages sent by African parents get through customs in Canada, UK, US and other Caribbean islands like St. Vincent. Identical packages arriving in Dominica are confiscated and destroyed. Meetings with Plant Protection and Quarantine officials are being arranged to review the matter.<\/p>\n

Even before Ebola, African students uniformly complain of shoddy treatment by Princess Margaret Hospital staff compared to their white counterparts. If proven, offenders ought to be called out to make it abundantly clear that such behaviour does not reflect Government policy.<\/p>\n

So, tossing Ebola into that mix does create a veritable witch\u2019s brew. We commend the government of Dominica and the Ministry of Health for the recent excellent Ebola conference chaired by Dr. Velda Wade. Our health personnel are now highly sensitized. We\u2019d better be: nurses and doctors are the first to die. The port of entry questionnaire for returning African students announced by the Chief Medical Officer Dr. Johnson, is a well thought-out reasonable response. It is left to be seen with what level of dignity and respect this will be implemented.<\/p>\n

Resist prejudice<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the days of the struggle when we marched for African Liberation and the release of Mandela, we concluded the colonially brainwashed generation just had to die out for change to come. Unfortunately, after all these years, the same self-hating inferiority complex, \u2018nice hair\u2019 and shades-of-complexion preferential treatment is just as rampant as ever.<\/p>\n

When any community feels stressed or threatened, there is a universal tendency for contagious fear to unmask primal prejudices directed at minorities and foreigners. Already, some are saying, \u2018Stop anymore Africans from coming in.\u2019 Such is the virulent tide of xenophobia I see rising against the strangers within our gates. God sent Ebola to challenge our values. This is an ice-cold test. It is only test. In the event of a true emergency, we must ensure that mass hysteria is not allowed to push public policy beyond reasonable safeguards.<\/p>\n

We are proud to have multiplied hundreds of African students choosing to come here for a quality education. Beyond the positive economic impact, it affirms Dominica as a welcoming place to do business \u2013 not to mention, a testament to our traditional hospitality. But we must not drink the Kool-Aid and deceive ourselves into believing that everyone is just dying to come to the Nature Isle. Citizens of the world have options.<\/p>\n

For further clinical details on Ebola, please refer to this week\u2019s informative\u00a0article by Dr. Emmanuel\u2019s team <\/strong><\/a>. On a side note, I must tell you that from living through the Anthrax scare in the US after 911, we know biological terror can be man-made. Computer geeks make viruses so they can sell virus protection software. So although the evidence strongly suggests a fruit bat \/ bush meat animal vector, some death-merchandizing cocomacaq is not totally outside the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n

\"Ebola<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, like Dengue, like previous Ebola outbreaks, all epidemics come and go. This too shall pass. As ominous as it now sounds, it does not even begin to scratch the surface in terms of total mortality compared to the pandemic Spanish Flu of the last century (50 million dead worldwide) and other notorious plagues before that.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so we may fear less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Marie Curie, Polish-French scientist \/ Nobel Laureate<\/p>\n

To date, there is not one recorded case of Ebola in the entire Western hemisphere. The highest priority indeed is to keep it that way. If one does arrive on our shores, given our vaunted health care system, we are as ready as any third world country to deal with it. If a case never materializes, then all our fears will have been for nought. Meanwhile, Ebola hysteria must not be allowed to leave a bitter taste in the mouths of our African guests. We can do better with our attitudes than that old nursing home patient. Rest assured we will get through this. And let us do so with our signature fairness, equanimity and respect.<\/p>\n
