    Denial and Disconnect Add to Toll of Ebola in Sierra Leone

    WATERLOO, Sierra Leone — At first, the chief said nobody was sick in his community. Then he said that if anybody was sick it was because of witchcraft. Then he acknowledged that health workers were removing several suspected Ebola patients every day. In fact 15 corpses had been taken in less than a week from the community, but the chief did not admit that.

    Persistent denial has been harmful to the fight against the virus. It stretches from the village to the state house, and it echoes into the circles of some of the international agencies now thick on the ground in Sierra Leone and the other Ebola-afflicted nations in West Africa.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
