dead ebola patient rises after burial


APC news agency journalist has become an eyewitness of surprising and at the same time frightening events. The man who was supposed to have died from Ebola virus awaked after almost being buried, in Monrovia, Liberia. The unbelievable accident took place when the journalist together with his producer saw a burial team working along the roadway surrounded by crowds of angry locals. They watched as the burial team suited up and approached the body lying against a wall.


They sprayed it down with bleach and moved it to a black, plastic sheet and began to wrap it up. When suddenly the dead man moved his arm and someone yelled, “He’s alive!” The man was immediately unwrapped and put back on the ground. Although the man was alive he looked like he would only last a few more hours. After awhile an ambulance pulled up and a separate team of health workers loaded him into the back. The crowd went wild cheering. A community leader said they had been trying to get help for the dead man for days, but no ambulance ever came. And only when the man died, a burial team came in an hour. “We couldn’t get him help when he was alive. They only come when you die,” a community leader said. 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history, affecting multiple countries in West Africa. A small number of cases in Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, have been associated with a man from Liberia who traveled to Lagos and died from Ebola. The epidemic began in Guinea in December 2013 and spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal. As of 29 September 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a total of 7,192 suspected cases and 3,286 deaths (3,988 cases and 1,954 deaths having been laboratory confirmed). Many experts believe that the official numbers substantially understate the size of the outbreak, due in part to community resistance to reporting cases, and a lack of personnel and equipment to investigate reports of the disease.

10 reasons why you should always go for the girl who drinks Whiskey

  Though Whiskey is generally consider a man’s drink, woman who take it are seen as special.  Elite Daily writes of 10 reasons why you should always go for a girl who drinks whiskey. She’s a little bit badass : Whiskey drinkers are typically generalized as “badass” and it couldn’t have came to fruition without some level of truth to it. But just because she doesn’t drive a motorcycle or play bass guitar doesn’t mean she can’t have a little wild streak you don’t know about. And, judging by the bourbon on the rocks she’s clutching, she probably does. She’s emotional: She’s very in touch with her emotions – thanks in part to whiskey – especially after she has one too many whiskey shooters and lets you know how she really feels. Whiskey drinkers appear apathetic to the majority of mankind — but after you get to know people who love a good tumbler of whiskey and you share a few drinks with them, you’ll realize just how passionate they are. She isn’t afraid ...
