Isn't This The Most 'African' Thing Ever? Two Patients Leave Ebola Treatment Centre For Special Prayers - Die Anyway

Isn't This The Most 'African' Thing Ever? Two Patients Leave Ebola Treatment Centre For Special Prayers - Die Anyway


When it comes to religion Africans have decided that we would vacate whatever small brain power we have and enter our churches literally empty headed.

Thus we can have a situation where perfectly sane people can be convinced by their pastors to carry out the most insane acts.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, where they are currently battling a resurgent Ebola virus, two more lives were lost due to the folly of the patients and their families.

According to Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the charitable worldwide organization also known as Doctors without Borders, the two patients were taken out of a treatment facility in the city of Mbandaka, where they were being held under quarantine and receiving treatment.

Their families took them to a prayer camp to receive prayers, but they died anyway. A third patient who was taken out was later brought back and is currently in critical condition.

Aside the fact that removing a patient of a deadly hemorrhagic disease like Ebola from under constant observation is almost certainly a death sentence for them, there is the question of spreading the disease further, considering how contagious Ebola is known to be.

The prayer camp they were taken to was said to have at least 50 members, all of whom are now potentially exposed to the virus.

Looking at such an action you can easily see how foolhardy it is but under the lens of ‘faith’ that we have adopted everything makes sense.
