Its Friday lay day for me. I am up in Northern Australia until later today finalising my involvement in some projects that I have been part of. I was watching the TV in my hotel this morning after a run in the early morning humidity. There was a program on the Ebola crisis and how medical teams in Western Africa are so short of basic resources that the virus is spreading and becoming uncontrollable. The world is facing a major health crisis at present that is currently centred on the impoverished nations of West Africa. The struggle to combat the spread of the Ebola virus is being seriously hampered, if not imperiled by a lack of resources – simple things like disinfectants, drugs, staff etc. You might be wondering how the world could envision cutting the budget of the World Health Organisation, which is the prime institution charged with dealing with these sorts of crises. Well – fiscal austerity – take a bow! A class act.
