A doctor in Sierra Leone has died of Ebola, the fifth local doctor to die of the disease there, authorities said Monday, as UNICEF announced it was doubling its staff in the three West African nations hard hit by the deadly virus.
The death of Dr. Godfrey George, medical superintendent of Kambia Government Hospital in northern Sierra Leone, was a blow to efforts to keep desperately needed health workers safe in a country ravaged by the world's worst Ebola outbreak.
I honestly don't believe doctors are taking much caution. If they know that many safety precautions have been breached In this process I don't get why they aren't changing their tactics in order to be safe. They are very noble for for getting near the patient but also need to be safe and protect themselves first!

you know, the doctors, until very recently, only used equipment you'd buy from Home Depot or some hardware store. They haven't actually been using HAZMAT suits until very recently, which is outrageous. They should've been using HAZMAT suits right from the beginning!
