A group of reporters decided to go from Sierra Leone’s
capital, Freetown, Guinea capital and Canakry to see the impact of the Ebola.
Farewell Freetown
The started the journey at 06:30. On the radio they listened
people talking about Ebola and they are accurate because they know the facts
because they read on the web pages of ministry of health, WHO and
EbolaFacts.com.
The streets are bustling because women and everybody
try to sell fruits and vegetables.
By 09:00 they had the first checkpoint. Soldiers have
thermos temperature guns in their hands to check their temperature. 37.3 is the
last temperature allowed.
Quarantine zone
They arrived at Port Loko where Ebola has risen
quickly in recent week.
A doctor said that at the first of the week they had 8
patients and at the last, they were full.
The people clean their hand with chlorine and they
make some mechanics to not touch the bottles.
Welcome to Guinea
When they enter in Guinea everything was different. Most
people speak French and some of them English.
There was the first patient infected, Emile. He was
the patient zero. He died last December but only in March experts don’t realize
what happened.
On Guinea there were not patients because they prefer
to die on their village.
“Ebola isn’t real”
They stop in a town called Maferiah. There nobody
wants to talk about Ebola. After asking some people a couple on men were agree
to speak with them.
The firs one said that he doesn’t know about Ebola and
he never had seen someone killed by it.
The second one said that they have not Ebola. Ebola is
not real.
“West
Africa has far to go before Ebola can finally be stamped out.”
Opinion
I choose this news because
it’s something current and I think that is interest too.
It’s a little bit
strange the differences between the towns which are affected by Ebola. Some act
like nothing happened and others are very scared.
But what is not normal
it’s that nobody have found the way to stop with this virus. Everyday a lot of
humans in Africa died and it seems that is not important and the world continue
like nothing happened. We don’t know how to stop it, but how that was started? I
think that is one of the most important questions.
