The World Health Organisation has landed another blow on Kenya, its already struggling tourist industry and its primary airline, Kenya Airways, by declaring the country an Ebola risk because it is a crossroads of many West Africa originating passengers' travels.
It may be, but who knows by what route anyone possibly contaminated person may try to flee the place where the disease might have been picked up?
Why has the WHO not gone the full distance and nominated all the major transfer points of West African travellers? If they are medically are serious rather than alarmist how about Addis Ababa, Johannesburg, the Gulf airports, London, Paris and Amsterdam? What's so special about one particular airport in East Africa where the disease is not endemic?
