Maybe this sort of possibility is why we’re sending military to help with this crisis.
The killings are an example of what aid officials have been saying: the Ebola epidemic, in which more than 2,600 people have died, is disrupting not only public health but society in general.
The Washington Post reports that three of the victims had their throats cut and that the bodies were found in a village latrine.

@HelenBranswell it's like how do you help those that don't want to be helped? It's sickening!
