liberia

The article is making the point that had knowledge of these papers been more widespread, especially among medical personnel in Liberia, that Liberia likely would have responded differently to the problem.

I read a comparison of the Liberia to Uganda, Kenya examples before that said its because Liberia('s slums) are at a worse of starting point.

Hardly anyone can point to Liberia on a map, but over 10% of the worlds shipping is registered there^.

Per Wikipedia, the US joins Papua New Guinea, Suriname, and Liberia as the only countries to not provide paid parental leave of any kind.

New to the US, Liberia and Birma perhaps..

It isn't really about what readers of the American press should have done to prepare for Ebola in Liberia (which is the meaning I infer from your first sentence, maybe that's wrong).

I found an abstract of at least one article from 1986 discussing the 13.4% prevalence of antibodies against Ebola in Liberia (from a rainforest area) in 2 minutes using pubmed, which is free and open for all to use.

(linked in another comment by DangerousPie) So even if you take a step back from calling it a warning about Ebola, the question of why it was not well known in Liberia is still an interesting one.

Unlike the 3rd example of the President of Liberia talking about Ebola at a Harvard Political Institute event, the only sane thing for institutions to do with the former sorts of events is to not publish them in any form with audio on any venue.

Countries with no national paid maternity leave policy: US, Papua New Guinea, Suriname, and Liberia [1] Countries who have executed people in the past 25 years who were under 18 at the time of their crimes: The People's Republic of China (PRC), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, the United States and Yemen.

The title of the paper in question is presumably "A serological survey on viral haemorrhagic fevers in liberia".

^"There" is of course an office in London, not actual Liberia.

For instance, Ebola is "common" in Liberia, but someone coming in with the symptoms of fever and headache are still at least as likely to have flu (or even Lassa fever) as they are to have Ebola.

Is it just me, or does "being a citizen," feel increasingly archaic as time goes on When times are good it might, but just ask Americans who were in Liberia or Sierra Lione recently, or who were in Georgia in 2007, or who were in Ukraine until this year.

The warnings in the headline are papers published in the 1980s that contained evidence of endemic Ebola in Liberia.

As a more extreme example, remember that in Liberia, armed men broke into an Ebola clinic to free patients [0].

On the flip side, even Liberia's ministry of health (see author's credentials) could afford the $45, then disseminate to the clinics.
