The cure for Ebola: Penitence?

Aug 12, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
“We are in trouble here. We are in trouble,” Reverend Marcus MacKay, dressed in a green gown, said before the altar. “But you know what? There is no way this devil is going to do its work.”
But, so far nearly 1,000 people are dead, killed by the Ebola virus, in West Africa, reports the Reuters News Agency.
In Sierra Leone, Bishop Abu Aiah Koroma of the evangelical Flaming Bible Church in Freetown said price hikes were destroying the nation’s economy, branding Ebola “a devil”.
People in Sierra Leone and Liberia filled churches on Sunday to seek deliverance from the outbreak of Ebola, defying official warnings to avoid public gatherings to contain the epidemic. Speaking amid chants of “Alleluia” and “Amen” from his packed church, Bishop Koroma called for penitence “to avert this plague from our country,” Reuters reports.
Meanwhile, in the United States, using MEDICAL SCIENCE, two doctors were treated with a drug in an Atlanta hospital, where one of the doctors says he is growing stronger every day.
No word yet on if PENITENCE has had the same effect.
