  The MPs press conference begged the ebola question. Did the MPs consult each other? Where is the President?
  
  There is an outbreak of a deadly disease in neighboring countries. What we want to know is what specific measures have been put in place to address the ebola threat or are we only going to wait until we record the first few cases. How many body safety suits have been procured?
  
  The MPs must come again and this time we want this issue addressed.
  
  Public panic could have so many consequences.

  Why include Ghana? Case in Ghana was ruled out as not Ebola.

  It doesn't make sense to me.If your neighbor has T.B or a highly contagious ailment I don't believe any sane parent will allow his children to play with their kids.It is just common sense.Shut the boarder before it is too late.What trade are they talking about anyway? Is that penny trading across the region so important we have to risk an epidemic?

  Where did this woman get her doctorate degree? I remember when the Congo outbreak of this disease back in the 90's. There were traveling restriction to that country by many nations. This is a virus that remains contagious even after the victim is dead. I hope Ghana pays no attention to this woman. Our healthcare already sucks and I can't begin to imagine if there's an outbreak.

  Since many people in Ghana don't have the accurate facts about this dreadful disease, it is incumbent on the MOH to educate Ghanaians about Ebola.
  Closing the borders of Ghana will be unnecessary.

  I disagree with this Lady, even in Advance countries, when there is outbreak of communicable diseases they put some restriction on movement of people. Why care about free trade in West Africa vs spreading diseases?

  I think this is a very laudable idea. Our borders should be close those people from the the other sister countries.The authorities should make sure that happened. After all, Senegal has already done the same thing. We can not allow Malians and the Burkinabes and the rest to come into this cpountry with that dreaded disease.

  If that is what can safe us, then it is the best thing to do at the moment. Other countries have closed their lan borders and I don´t know why Ghana has not done same. Either they are waiting for the epidemic to invade the country before they reason, only heaven knows. The Ashanit too should to warned against the eating of bat and monkey meat and also, stop eating animal faeces!

  DOES IT MEAN THAT,VACCINES AND MEDICINES SHOULD ONLY BE PRODUCED IN THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES FOR US; WHILE, THE AFRICAN BLACK MAN'S MAIN ATTENTION IS ONLY CENTRED ON POLITCS AS A PREOCCUPATION.
  
  ARE WE NOT DISGRACEFUL AND SHAMEFUL PEOPLE ON EARTH.

  Why was Ghana mentioned among countries that have the outbreak? is something being hidden from us or is it just poor reporting by journalist.
