Government, Officialdom Responsible for Spread of Ebola

It's not called Obola for nothing

Instead of 21 days, it turns out somebody suspected of Ebola infection should be quarantined and monitored for twice that time, 42 days.

From the World Health Organization: “For WHO to declare an Ebola outbreak over, a country must pass through 42 days, with active surveillance demonstrably in place, supported by good diagnostic capacity, and with no new cases detected. Active surveillance is essential to detect chains of transmission that might otherwise remain hidden.”

The WHO estimates 2% of Ebola incubations occur after 21 days.

In other words, a number of people who passed the 21 days of observation without symptoms may in fact be infected and when released possibly pass the disease on to others.
