U.S.-built ebola treatment centers sit empty

But it looked so good in news video

“Several treatment centers built by U.S. troops and meant to receive Ebola patients are sitting empty or nearly empty in the West African country of Liberia, according to a published report.

“The Washington Post reports that the worst of the deadly outbreak appeared to have passed before the first treatment centers were even completed. A Liberian government official tells the Post that the centers were built ‘too late.’

"’If they had been built when we needed them, they wouldn't have been too much,’ the official, Moses Massaquoi, said.

“President Barack Obama dispatched 3,000 troops to West Africa as part of a $750 million plan to fight the spread of the Ebola virus. However, the Post reports that the response from the U.S. and the international community has far outstripped what was necessary. As an example, the Post cites one treatment center where only 46 patients have been admitted since it opened Nov. 18. In Liberia's capital, Monrovia, there are seven Ebola treatment centers. According to the Post, three of those will temporarily suspend operations, while a fourth will close completely.”

In a way, empty treatment centers is not all bad. It means no one is ill enough to require treatment. Still, Obama's decision was, as usual, made on determination of what looks good.
