Returning to the “Ebola World”
Returning to the “Ebola World”
In early February 2015, the author prepared to leave for her second Ebola mission, this time at an Ebola treatment center in Conakry, the capital of Guinea. During the two-month mission she discovered that the Ebola epidemic created havoc not only by leaving sickness and death in its wake, but also by its perversity. When it seemed to be in decline, new flare-ups would spring up to extend its life. The author recalls a storm of anger and sadness from one bereaved family in a particular violent episode. This made the absurd cruelty of Ebola even more apparent for her.
