Innocence

For some reason, this Ebola cemetery in Makeni is just a short walk down from a primary school. As we went to pay respect to the victims, the whole school basically stopped and a 100 kids decided to follow us. NOT GOOD. At the beginning of the epidemic, there were 500 new cases a week. The burial team could hardly cope with 15-20 bodies a day. You can imagine how bad it was, because at the far end of the cemetery is an unmarked mass grave. Ebola patients are most infectious after they've died. An Ebola cemetery is the last place you want kids to hang around.

    I'm still unfamiliar with ebola. it's just said that in the beginning the virus was infected by animal to people. than it said that it's more danger than hiv/aids. but never found the ebola case inmy country Indonesia (cmiiw). What I'm asking is what to do and do not? (if avoid hiv/aids safe sex, don't do drugs, etc)
