WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO DO
TO STOP THE DEADLY VIRUS
BY ARYN BAKER/MONROVIA

WorldMags.net
THE CROWD
WAS WAITING.
AND ANGRY.
As the Liberian Red Cross convoy pulled
into a tin-roof shantytown at the base
of Monrovias St. Paul Bridge, residents
crowded the lead vehicle. The Red Cross
workers were there to pick up the body of
a man with symptoms of Ebola who had
died the night before. Where were you
two weeks ago when we called when he
had a fever? demanded one resident. Ive
been calling every day for an ambulance,
said another, brandishing the call log on
his cell phone for proof. He turned to face
the crowd: No one comes when we are
sick, only when we are dead.
The Red Cross supervisor, Friday
Kiyee, sighed as he launched into an explanation polished by constant repetition.
We are the Red Cross body-management
team. Our job is to pick up dead bodies.
Were not responsible for picking up patients and taking them to the hospital.
He clapped his hands, a signal for the men
on his team to suit up in their protective
gear and pick up the body.
The work of the dead-body-management
team of the Liberian Red Cross is hard
enough; unprotected contact with the
corpses of people infected with Ebola is
dangerous and can easily result in infection. And the anger and frustration the
workers face make their jobs all the more
challenging. But theres another factor
that makes the work particularly draining: successfully containing the spread of
Ebola is no epidemiological or biological
mystery. During earlier Ebola outbreaks
in remote, low-population areas, limiting
infection was, in theory at least, relatively
straightforward. Keep infected patients
isolated during care, track down and
40
monitor the people theyve been in contact with, and ensure that the living keep
clear of the dead. But in an uncontrolled
outbreak in densely populated urban areas, the virus can burn like re through
dry tinder, and the sheer number of the
sick makes those simple precautions all
but impossible.
In Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone
the three countries most affected by the
current outbreak, which is the worst since
the virus was discovered in 1976slowing
the spread of Ebola has so far proved impossible for aid organizations, regional
governments and the international community. We know how to stop Ebola,
says Kiyee. But we need help.
That help hasnt come fast enough. The
scale of this outbreak is due in part to the
fact that the virus hit cities for the rst
time, but its also because of a painfully
slow response from regional ofcials and
from abroad, with the diseases spread outpacing aid. Far from bringing Ebola under
control, were falling further and further
behind, with the number of cases still increasing week by week. We are not even
at the point where this is at its worst, says
Amanda McClelland, who is coordinating
the emergency response to Ebola for the
International Red Cross.
The outbreak can seem a distant problem for many in the West, but on Sept. 30,
American health ofcials announced that
a man who had recently traveled from Liberia to Dallas had that day been diagnosed
with Ebola. The case was the rst diagnosis
of the disease outside Africa, and while U.S.
ofcials said they are condent they will
be able to contain the spread of the virus in

patients suspected of having Ebola to designated treatment centers. But the hotline
was quickly overwhelmed with calls
some 2,000 a day, says Nyenswah. There
were only six government ambulances to
answer those calls. Many who called had
to wait several days for helpwhich is several more days that someone infected with
the virus could pass it on to caregivers.
It wasnt until August, after one American aid worker and an American doctor
working in Liberia had contracted the
virus, that the CDC sent its rst surge
of epidemic specialists to the region and
WHO declared Ebola a global public-health

probably the most pro-American people in the region, after Israel. American visitors to Tehran are typically
welcomed warmly.
That tension helped to produce an
unprecedented challenge to Khameneis
power. In June 2009, a wave of street
demonstrations in cities like Tehran and
Isfahan erupted after Ahmadinejad won
re-election in a seemingly rigged vote. In
what became known as the Green movement, thousands of protesters denounced
the Supreme Leader with chants of Death
to the dictator.
Khamenei declared the protests the
work of espionage machines working for
Zionists and the Americans. Nonsense,
perhaps, but revealing of his mind-set. For
years American politicians and pundits
have talked about overthrowing Irans
Islamic government, either by force or
by supporting democratic reform. He is
convinced that the U.S. raises concerns

Deadly crashes

Reduced awareness
Brain imaging shows that its
harder for people who are high to
focus on several things at once,
such as a changing stoplight, an
approaching bicycle and a car
signaling a turn.
Hallucinations
Research is sparse, but
Huestis says pot-related
cases can happen and
are an underappreciated
threat on the road.
Limited vision
Its harder to see events
in your periphery, says
Huestis, referring to the
tunnel-vision effect of pot,
which impairs drivers ability
to recognize obstacles to
their far left and right.
Slower decisions
Being high can impair users
executive function and
problem-solving ability. That
makes it harder for drivers
to make a smart choicedo
I swerve or slam on the
brakes?on the y.
Sluggish reexes
Pot can negatively affect
the parts of the brain
that coordinate and
initiate movement, which
makes it tougher to
physically control a car.

scientic research on exactly how pot impairs driving and precisely how risky it is.
But it is no surprise that solving the
problem is a priority for public ofcials,
since there is evidence to suggest that driving high is a real danger. From 1999 to 2010,
during a period of widespread decriminalization, the rate of drivers who died in
crashes with marijuana in their system tripled, from 4% to 12%, according to a review
of some 23,591 driver deaths in six states.
The data does not show whether marijuana
caused those crashes, but it does tell us that
the number of drivers on the road with pot
in their system has been rising fast and at
the very least correlates with mortality. It
seems, at least for people at the wheel, there
may be such a thing as being too mellow.
Dening a Legal Limit
the problem of impaired driving goes
all the way back to the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. Americans saw a spike in
automobile accidents due to drunken
driving, prompting intoxication research
that established 0.15% as the acceptable
limit for alcohol in the blood while driving. Drunk-driving laws proved hard to
enforce at rst, with cops forced to rely

It is illegal to drive

of marijuana in every
state. The question
is: How do you prove
the driver was under
the inuence?
WorldMags.net
Primitive Tells
other nations are groping for legal
and medical standards too. New Zealand
uses a system that combines subjective
signs of impairment with a zero-tolerance
policy. Ifand only ifa Kiwi driver fails
the eld sobriety test, any amount of the
drug in his blood is illegal. Its an interesting idea that might help address cases in
which a driver has used marijuana and alcohol in small amounts that would have
little impact on their own but can be deeply intoxicating when combined.
Educating the public about the dangers of driving while high will help. Many
Americans dont know that smoking pot
can impair their driving or that it is illegal to drive while high. According to the
police, in late August, Pittsburgh Steelers
running back LeVeon Bell told the cop
who pulled him over in Pennsylvania, I
didnt know you could get a DUI for being
high. (Bell learned fast. He is now facing a DUI charge and a possible two-game
suspension.) Colorado has started a TV
advertising campaign to deter the practice. In one ad, a long-haired man slowly
presses a button on his backyard gas grill
over and over, looking deeply confused
about why it wont start. Grilling high is
now legal, the tagline reads. Driving to
get the propane you forgot isnt.
Until those campaigns start working, cops like Golec will have to rely on
what may seem like primitive tells. Golec
knows a stoned driver tracking a pencil
across her face would struggle to keep an
eye from wandering. Poor judges of time,
most pot-impaired drivers would overestimate the passage of 30 seconds. The sobriety test is far from perfect, but for now,
said an instructor in Golecs course, this
is the only game in town.
Technology may come to the rescue.
A retired Canadian police ofcer and a
physician have teamed up to create a new
Breathalyzer that will detect marijuana
use in the past two hours, a decent measure of impairment since pots effects are
usually felt for about two to three hours
after use. Co-developer Dr. Raj Attariwala
says the technology will get more precise
as legalization spurs research. In the
1970s, we didnt know a lot about alcohol
either, so thats basically where we are,
he says. We are on the cusp. Weve got a
lot to learn.

Star Signs
After spending her
teen years in a girl
group called the
Stunners, singersongwriter Tinashe
earned a cult following
on the basis of three
acclaimed mixtapes,
which swapped the
commercial pop of
her origins for moody,
experimental R&B.
Her rst hit single,
this years 2 On,
landed somewhere in
between. A hazy club
track with a clattering
beat, it ripples with
sinister energy.
Tinashe is often
compared to the
late singer Aaliyah,
who worked from
a similar binary:
commercial star and
sonic innovator. (A
striking mononym
doesnt hurt, either.)
On Tinashes debut
album, Aquarius, out
Oct. 7, the hype is
well earned. With help
from the cool kids
of rap (Schoolboy Q,
Future, A$AP Rocky,
DJ Mustard), she pairs
airy, drifting alternaR&B with crisp hooks
that evoke 90s radio,
as on the yearning
single Pretend and
the tense All Hands
on Deck.
Its a condent
debut, and well timed.
As mainstream R&B
has been nudged
into increasingly dark
and inventive territory (see Beyonc),
Tinashe doesnt even
sound left of center
just right on trend.
