From Sept. 28-30, staff treating Duncan wore basic personal protective gear consisting of gowns down to the knees, face shields or a mask and latex gloves. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas said in a release that once Duncan’s Ebola test came back positive, staff members were issued hazmat suits. But they admitted some were too big and nurses had to pinch and tape the suits for them to fit.
The spokesman for the Liberia National Police (LNP), Sam Collins, has described reports of well poisoning in communities across the country as “false, misleading and lacking in substance”.
[Edit for brevity. --DJW001]
“LNP would like to challenge anyone in this community and other parts of Liberia to provide evidence of anyone putting poison into wells. Since we received this rumor, we have gathered no evidence from the public, community or individuals but the public continues to provide false information.”
[Edit for brevity. --DJW001]
He claimed that the well in question is currently being used by residents of the community, which he described as a clear indication of the "false and misleading information" coming from the public.
He said people were endangering the lives of others by spreading false information and rumors that have the propensity to create additional stress and confusion for the nation already plagued with the Ebola epidemic.

He ultimate motive is the fear. See above.
They used to outright scare us with the big red enemy but that lost its sting. They had to get crafty and they know how mistrusting we are.
Them bumbling a non issue creats more fear then them sayin an asteroid is about to hit. People would be like "I just went outside and I don't see no asteroid fricken stupid obummer"

An epidemiologist might not understand cost benefit analysis, constitutional law, task force management and other skills that a manager in a government department would certainly need. The "czar's" job is to organize government resources, not actually do medical research. Epidemiologists will advise him on the latest research, and he will see to it that the proper steps are taken to facilitate it.
All this is way off topic. Please return to the brewing witch hunt in Liberia. Accusations of well poisoning is a classic pretext for witch hunts.
I heard today there was already a person in the National Health Service whose job was to do what this political insider was hired to do. But they can't trot her out because she took grant money away from the company that is now making the Ebola cure, when they were in the research stage - and giving the grant money to a big democrat donor.
So, it wasn't the Republicans who took money away from Ebola research, under Obama it was given away to a huge democrat donor's company whose main product is make-up.
