U.N. says at least $1 billion needed to contain Ebola outbreak
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will launch a global
response coalition in New York this week asking the international
community for as much as $1 billion to contain the Ebola outbreak in
West Africa, the secretary general's office confirmed to MarketWatch on
Tuesday. So far the disease has killed 2,461 people and infected 4,985,
according to data from the World Health Organization. This is up from a
request of just $100 million a month ago. "Because of the way the
outbreak is advancing, the level of surge we need to do is
unprecedented, it is massive," U.N. coordinator for Ebola, David
Nabarro, reportedly told reporters at a WHO conference in Geneva. The
United States also announced that it would send 3,000 troops to the
region to help tackle the outbreak.
Ha ha ha ha ha, so it about money only....nice when the Dopes slip up and call this for what it is...Money.
