Monrovia (AFP) - Seventeen Ebola patients in Liberia who fled from a guarantine centre after it was attacked by club-wielding youths were missing on Sunday, striking a fresh blow to efforts to contain the deadly virus.

The attack on the Monrovia centre late Saturday highlighted the challenge faced by health authorities battling the epidemic that has killed 1,145 people since it erupted in west Africa early this year, spreading panic among local populations.
Doctors and nurses are not only fighting the disease, but a deep mistrust in communities often in the thrall of wild rumours that the virus was invented by the West or is a hoax.
"They broke down the door and looted the place. The patients have all gone," said Rebecca Wesseh, who witnessed the raid in the Liberian capital's densely populated West Point slum.
The attackers, mostly young men armed with clubs, shouted insults about President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and yelled "there's no Ebola," she said, adding that nurses had also fled the centre.
A health ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the youths took away medicines, mattresses and bedding from the high school which had been turned into an isolation centre to deal with the rapidly spreading virus.
The head of the Health Workers Association of Liberia, George Williams, said the unit housed 29 patients who "had all tested positive for Ebola" and were receiving preliminary treatment before being taken to hospital.
"Of the 29 patients, 17 fled last night (after the assault). Nine died four days ago and three others were yesterday taken by force by their relatives" from the centre, he said.
Ebola is spread by contact with an infected person's bodily fluids, such as sweat and blood, and no cure or vaccine is currently available.

Victims in their final days are wracked by agonising muscular pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and catastrophic haemorrhaging described as "bleeding out," as vital organs break down.
Fallah Boima's son was admitted to the ward four days ago, and seemed to be doing well, but when the distraught father arrived for his daily visit on Sunday his son was nowhere to be seen.
"This morning I came and the security man told me that I cannot enter because the people here attacked the place," Boima told AFP.
"I don't know where he is and I am very confused. He has not called me since he left the camp. Now that the nurses have all left how will I know where my son is."
- 'Cannibalistic rituals' -
In Monrovia, residents had opposed the creation of the quarantine centre, set up by health authorities in a part of the capital seen as an epicentre of the Ebola outbreak.
"We told them not to (build) their camp here. They didn't listen to us," said a young resident, who declined to give his name. "This Ebola business, we don't believe it."
Neighbouring Sierra Leone has also battled to get patients to comply with quarantine measures as myths spread about the virus.
On Sunday, a 25-year-old patient suspected of having Ebola broke out of his isolation centre "for about an hour" before being escorted back, said health ministry spokesman Yahya Tunis.
Last month thousands tried to storm the main Ebola hospital in the eastern city of Kenema, threatening to burn it down and remove patients.
Local police chief Alfred Karrow-Kamara said the panic was caused by a former nurse who reportedly told people in the nearby fish market that Ebola was a pretence for "carrying out cannibalistic rituals".
Some 1,500 police and soldiers have been deployed in the worst-hit areas of Sierra Leone to prevent raids, but they are powerless in the face of the suspicion and fear of poorly educated traditional communities.
Health workers' pleas that relatives stop bathing the dead -- who are highly contagious -- have also increased suspicions, as many in traditional communities see ritual washing as a way of honouring the departed.
Former Sierra Leone youth and education minister Lansana Nyallah, who lost nine of his family to the virus, tried to address myths about it head on, saying: "To those who still believe that Ebola does not exist, please take heed."
Folk cures for the disease have proliferated. In Nigeria two people died and some 20 were hospitalised after they ingested an excessive amount of salt believing it could prevent Ebola.
There have also been reports in Liberia of people drinking chlorine in the hope that it will keep the disease at bay.
The Ebola outbreak, the worst since the virus first appeared in 1976, has claimed 413 lives in Liberia, 380 in Guinea, 348 in Sierra Leone and four in Nigeria, according to the World Health Organization's latest figures released August 13.

Club wielding youths? "This ebola business, we dont believe it"? "Bathing the dead"? "Folk cures"?!!!!
Fuck these idiots, just quarantine the area and drop incendiary on them.
If they cant fucking understand the severity of whats happening they dont deserve the help people are risking their lives to give them.
Burn the shit up, burn the outbreak epicenter, and quarantine or kill any infected.
Stop this shit now before these fucking primitive morons actually start something serious.....
Why the fuck do these bleeding heart idiots feel so compelled to help these savages? They're so ignorant and backwards that they're fucking dangerous.

If you can read between the lines I think its safe to say one should be very worried about this.
Aids didnt take home in africa because it was close to aids carrying monkeys.
Unlike aids however this shit is fast moving, which means political chaos in an already chaotic region is about to happen.
Unlike aids, you dont need to have sex, simply walking in shit of a victim is all you need, and this is coming from countries that dont have plumbing.
I bet a million dead by the end of the year.

While I am not averse to this thinking, really Ebola itself burns too hot on a viral scale. Put a fence around an infected area and wait a month, it'll be over. No thermite needed.

Except when you try to fence in tribal fools with western logic, you get a more explosive situation.
This has gone beyond a simple medical issue to a more societal issue.
Industrial nations prep requires a clean people to be more clean and organized.
Prep for unindustrious people requires a dirty people to magically stop being dirty, and even more magical organized.
If africans were rational, the birth rate and transmission rate would of fell off the edge of the earth 25 years ago when aids came about, it clearly didnt.

Unfortunately Its a little late for that. Its already all over the fucking place.

Dont get it, why does no one give a shit. Everyone panics when two doctors are put in CDC quarentine in atlanta, where worst comes to worst maybe a 100 people die.
Yet the virus looses containment and everyone is just hunky dory.
-
Just so were clear this is where those 17 people fled to.
And again this is before the virus hit.
But yeah its not contagious just wash your hands, and youll be ok.

Because no one gives a shit a out Africa. Maybe thats the idea? Start the depopulation agenda there where no one cares?
Seriously though, I don't understand either. Ebola may burn hot but if a serious outbreak started it could get moving FAST.
-
Most people here are not taking this seriously enough.
This Ebola virus is some scary, virulent shit.

I dont either, but if this becomes epidemic trade blockades will cause another market meltdown.
Nah man Ebola is in West point, its the worst place on the planet it could be outside of Nigeria,Bengladesh or India.
Most people here are not taking this seriously enough.
This Ebola virus is some scary, virulent shit.
To be a honest I didnt give a fuck until I heard about a break in containment..
In most countries political might can neutralize the virus very fast.
But once you get in regions of the world without borders, order, plumping, basic knowledge of sanitation, it just gets fucking scarey.

As long as it stays in africa im not too worried. Feel bad for them tho.

It likely will, but the economic problems caused by resource shortages will be the real problem.
Who the fuck will be importing from africa if their is an epidemic.

Does africa even export much? Other than maybe some oil or raw materials?
In any case this is yet another example of the need for economic independence..like we used to have. Globalism is fundamentally flawed and is greatly detrimental to the powerful nations

A massive amount of raw resources actually, its amazing how poor they are and the amount they produce.
Per tonnage they export a massive amount of shit.
However the value of this shit is super low do to the bankers fucking up these peoples currencies.
The problem is in Africa trickle down does not exist, most money flees through corrupt politicians.
Or predatory western institutions like the IMF, mining companies, monsanto, and now the chinese.
Its a free for all in africa, colonialism is very much alive and well.
On paper freedom happened a generation ago, moneywise theyre giving us westerners our delicious lifestyle.

In many African countries there is a growing IT industry as well as foreign countries investing in manufacturing plants. China has manufacturing plants in Ethiopia. And other countries are building plants there. Why? Cheap labor, as per usual. The Chinese find it cheaper to have things manufactured there than in China.

So.....knowing that the disease is spread by contact with bodily fluids like "blood and sweat" these brave men went into the camp armed with clubs and bats. If we postulate that a fight broke out...one would think that there would be an increase in bodily contact with "blood and sweat".
from a planning perspective this attack was flawed...and that's what really scares me.

Ypu didnt read far enough... they dont BELIEVE ebola is real. They think the white man is making it up to scare them. Those that do believe think its something some homemade bullshit witchdoctor remidies can fix.
Thats why these fucks dont deserve to live.
They have zero respect for this disease or nature in general.
Fuck em.

looks like the trend continues.
In another month or two, it will start creating mass stability problems in the 3 countries.
These decease is multiplying by a factor of 10, every three months.
Like fuck what is wrong with people.

Too stupid to live.
I think this was a plot by the western nations to finally simply wipe out the indigenous and take control of Africa's resources.

This situation can QUICKLY become OUR problem.
To me, it's absolute lunacy to volunteer to go to these African regions in an effort to "help". These are people who, for the most part, haven't a clue what's what. Sad but true.
Quarantine the affected areas and let the ugly virus do its worst. And then die off.
