"Two Ebola patients, who died of the virus in separate communities in Nimba County have reportedly resurrected in the county. The victims, both females, believed to be in their 60s and 40s respectively, died of the Ebola virus recently in Hope Village Community and the Catholic Community in Ganta, Nimba.
But to the amazement of residents and onlookers on Monday, the deceased reportedly regained life in total disbelief. The NewDawn Nimba County correspondent said the late Dorris Quoi of Hope Village Community and the second victim only identified as Ma Kebeh, said to be in her late 60s, were about to be taken for burial when they resurrected.
Ma Kebeh had reportedly been in door for two nights without food and medication before her alleged death. Nimba County has had bazaar news of Ebola cases with a native doctor from the county, who claimed that he could cure infected victims, dying of the virus himself last week."

1. It doesn't say where and by who she was pronounced dead.

2. Lots of people do think resurrection is possible

Were they born of virgins?

7. Yes I was thinking of that post also. No wonder we are having trouble controlling the disease.

4. sounds fishy to me.

I wonder if they were really dead in the first place. There have been stories, especially in developing countries, of people being prematurely declared dead only to "revive" in the funeral home or just before burial. There has to be more to this story.

5. I agree. They must not have been really dead in the first place.

6. I'm no doctor, but I'm guessing they weren't dead to begin with. nt

8. This kind of shit is not going to help.

No matter what has really happened here, these memes are not going help control the spread. African burial practices alone have got to be the number one cause of the spread. Then there's the distrust of international intervention. Furthermore, much of the disinformation is coming from the pulpit!

As the WHO has said, West Africa is likely fucked.
