Men who recover from #Ebola should avoid sex for at least 6 months or use condoms consistently and correctly.
This is because the virus can stay in semen even after recovery.

I am sure many of you have seen this post by now ..... And the lies within..... Here are the lies... or rather let me poke the holes....
1. Ati "We have vaccines: Ervebo given to all staff... We have practice... We have drugs."
The Hole: The current 2026 outbreak in the DRC is the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus. Ervebo ONLY works against the Zaire strain. There is currently no approved vaccine and no approved targeted treatment for the Bundibugyo strain. Telling the Kenyan public that the staff are protected by Ervebo is scientifically a lie! They are essentially unvaccinated against the strain currently circulating. Also, the U.S. plan relies on off-label use of Remdesivir and monoclonal antibodies, which are not explicitly proven for Bundibugyo.
2. Ati the Laikipia High-Level Isolation Unit (HLIU) was built to BSL-4 (Biosafety Level 4) standards. Ati whuot?
🤬 A BSL-4 facility is an incredibly complex, high-containment laboratory ecosystem requiring positive pressure space suits (specialised PPE), dedicated air supply lines, complex chemical shower decontamination chambers, and specialized engineering. The Laikipia is a military field hospital unit upgraded for isolation and is not a certified BSL-4 facility. True BSL-4 labs are meant for in-vitro research on pathogens, not for a 50 bed patient care field hospital. Calling it BSL-4 is an intentional exaggeration to make a makeshift field hospital sound like an impenetrable fortress.
3. "The virus cannot leave the building" or "negative pressure rooms, HEPA air... everything sterilized at 1200°C."
🤬The virus does not escape through the air vents .... it escapes via human error and waste management failures. And I am sure the Americans shall not be bringing a trained clean up crew. Ebola patients produce massive amounts of highly infectious fluid (vomit and diarrhea) daily. Who is cleaning the linens? Who is carrying the biohazard bags to that 1200°C incinerator? What happens if the base wastewater plant experiences a power fluctuation or mechanical failure? If a Kenyan worker punctures their glove with a needle, the negative pressure room means absolutely nothing.
4. "Staff live on base for 21 days" imp(lying) that that staff are monitored 24/7 and live on base for 21 days after their last patient contact, meaning they can't spread it to Nanyuki or surrounding towns.
🤬Ebola has an incubation period of up to 21 days. If a staff member is exposed on day 20 of their rotation, and are not completely isolated, the 21-day rule only works if the person remains completely isolated from the final second of exposure, which is incredibly difficult to track in a busy military environment.
5. ""international rules" and "helping each other."
🤬It completely ignores the political geography of the risk. The United States has state-of-the-art, taxpayer-funded biocontainment units (like at Emory University and Nebraska Medical Center) specifically built to handle Ebola-infected Americans. The U.S. has explicitly banned these individuals from entering the U.S. because they want zero risk on American soil. If a superpower with the most advanced healthcare infrastructure on earth decides it is too dangerous to fly these citizens home, why is it suddenly safe enough to dump that risk onto an airbase in Kenya?
6. The person even mentioned the WHO .... The WHO and USA in the same sentence?
🤬Since the United States officially completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) in Januarry of this year, from a legal, diplomatic, and public health standpoint, Kenya is under absolutely zero international obligation to agree to this arrangement.
The U.S. wanted the perks of isolation without the domestic risk, and this person is trying to package it as an "international duty" to mitigate public fury. But under international law, Kenya owes the U.S. nothing here.

Standard public health measures also state that you quarantine at source. You need to finish reading the chapter please. Carbo Verde refused to allow disembarking from MV Hondius for Hantavirus, a far less chaotic virus than Ebola, but Kenya is the macho country to invite it for pay? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@Kwach_ Ebola is not a trust issue. Ebola is a very highly infectious disease that kills 60-90% of people who get it. I will not become a willing statistic because of this type of reasoning.
How much money is enough to sate this hunger for American dollars? Basics of public health: treat tje case where it is diagnosed. We do not knowingly import infectious diseases with pandemic capabilities.
This is absolutely no deal.
Allow us to firstbecover from the Covid 19 blunders. How much of the Covid millions made it to your pockets?
All I know is that Kenyans are still paying loans, sold assets, etc to cover their ICU costs. No govt has come to waive the bills.
Then maybe we should be the first.
I’m I the only one who sees this as an opportunity?
Trump doesn’t want Ebola patients in USA for his politics meaning we can milk as much money as we want from the US government to build a fully functioning EBOLA research and treatment facility in Kenya.
EBOLA is not going away from our region any time soon and we will have to deal with outbreaks even in the future.
The biggest question about the U.S. building a #Ebola quarantine, isolation, and treatment facility for Americans in Kenya is not just why the U.S. is doing this — but WHY Kenya agreed to it.
This is clearly not about ensuring American healthcare workers receive the highest level of care. The U.S. already has world-class biocontainment units and highly trained teams that taxpayers have spent billions to build and sustain.
So why outsource this responsibility to another country? And what pressure or incentives were involved in making this happen?

Comoros🇰🇲 government now suspends new fuel prices introduced in response to the Iran war, backing down after the hikes, diesel prices by 46% and gasoline prices by 35%, prompted demonstrations and deadly clashes across the East African archipelago.
"The government and President Azali (Assoumani) heard the cries of the Comorian people. There was no other solution than to listen to them. The goal is to preserve peace," Energy Minister Aboubacar Saïd Anli announces.
President Azali suspended the decrees related to the fuel price hike, which were introduced on May 9, to allow for talks on the matter.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has just made a massive ruling on YOUR pension money.
Attorney General Dorcas Oduor and 3 others LOST the case while defending the government’s position.
For years, the government treated pension money deducted from workers’ salaries as if it were public money.
That is why pension schemes faced endless bureaucracy, procurement rules, delays, and costly approvals before investing your savings.
The Association of Retirement Benefits Schemes challenged this in court.
They lost in the High Court.
Lost again in the Court of Appeal.
But on 15th May 2026, the Supreme Court finally ruled in their favour.
The court declared that pension schemes sponsored by public entities and state corporations are PRIVATE TRUSTS, not government money.
Meaning?
Your pension is YOUR money.
Not the government’s.
Trustees can now invest faster, avoid unnecessary procurement bureaucracy, and potentially grow retirement savings better for millions of Kenyans.
This is one of the biggest financial rulings most wananchi have never heard about.
