Ebola in West Africa: International community stops flights not the virus

This week Brice de la Vigne, the operations director of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), described the response of the international community to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa as “almost zero” and said leaders in the west are more concerned with ensuring their own safety than preventing the spread of the virus. More than 2,000 people have been infected with Ebola so far and over a thousand people have already died.
