Hong Kong -- In scenes (click here) that would not have been out of place in a Hollywood science fiction thriller, at dawn on March 31, 2003, armed police and Hong Kong health authorities dressed in biological suits, theater masks and surgical gloves descended on Amoy Gardens housing estate.

Working swiftly on an order from the Department of Health to isolate Block E, the residents were sealed in. Under 24-hour medical surveillance, they could neither leave the block nor receive visitors, according to a report from the Hong Kong Department of Health.

Later moved to confinement camps under quarantine laws that had not been invoked since an outbreak of bubonic plague in 1894, the residents of Amoy Gardens were locked out for 10 days as doctors, clinicians, sewerage experts and engineers scoured the block for clues....

The blame game regarding Ebola is a method to turn the emergency into a political issue. The WHO has contained Ebola for a very long time. What changed this time? The virus changed. 

Containment has worked before and The West never saw a reason to worry about it. Today there is not only additional funding, but, the movement of treatments and military deployment to institute successful containment again.

Let's face it, the problem with Ebola today isn't about the spread of the disease, but, the apathy of The West to end the virus decades ago. You shall reap what you sow.
