Ebola outbreak: Liberia shuts most border points

Quarantining family members and other people who were exposed to the patient is a little more problematic in areas that have no running water and houses with little fuel and no refrigeration. Supplies have to be purchased daily and they don't have the resources to deliver them door to door while the families remain inside.

Eventually it will probably burn itself out but whole countries need to be quarantined, and this is what the region is starting to come to grips with.

If there is not another case in Lagos or among the plane passengers, the main fear will be calmed in Nigeria (and from there, the world).

This is one thing that can be stopped only if the world unites to stop it. I don't see that happening until it's out in the world, not just in a few impoverished countries in Africa.
