Quoting from the article: Part of the problem is that none of these articles were co-written by a Liberian scientist.

Indeed, the Liberian government, with varying levels of competence, has attempted to do most of what you describe.

Well, Liberia does have Liberian burial specialists now, who do what you describe and it indeed is probably the most awful job in the world.

That could change in short order - don't you remember the Liberian guy who turned up in Lagos?

Unlike the Ugandans, however, whose new businesses kept growing, the Liberian men were back where they started a year later.

He's a Liberian national who recently helped treat a pregnant Ebola victim just before flying to the US, for chrissakes.

He secretly treated another Liberian diplomat, presumably infected by the index case, in a hotel room.

If anything, the Liberian government has done some stupid impingements on rights itself (quarantining the entire poor sector of Monrovia for example).

Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to Barack Obama: "I am being honest with you when I say that at this rate, we will never break the transmission chain and the virus will overwhelm us" "The dilemma" of invasion and whatnot is beside the point.

Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President Obama and Lady Gaga visiting campus for an event.

Liberian officials have pleaded for help in fairly abject terms (one official mentioned the possibly of nation ceasing to exist - I think that means they're worried).
