Virus or oil?
According to the latest World Health Organization data, those infected with the Ebola virus die with a probability of 70,8%.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that in Liberia and Sierra Leone, in the next four months, a fever will hit from 550 thousand to 1,4 million. By January 2015 there will be a million cases in West Africa, and the threat may become permanent, "Vesti".
To date, more than 5800 people have been infected. Died from 2800 virus patients. It is assumed that the number of infections and deaths is underestimated.
Fever poses a serious threat to the health of people not only in Africa, but also of the entire planet.
As reported ITAR-TASS With reference to The Wall Street Journal, the African Command of the US Armed Forces will set up a headquarters in the capital of Liberia to combat the spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa.
"The headquarters will carry out operational management to support the actions of the US military and coordinate the steps of US government agencies and international humanitarian efforts," a senior official at the White House told a US magazine.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the US military will create a base of concentration in Liberia for the distribution of equipment, supplies, personnel and technical specialists. Their task is to assist in the construction of medical centers.
There is an opinion of experts, according to which, in the form of a virus, the United States found a convenient reason to establish control over the region rich in oil.
“By some strange coincidence, all countries affected by the Ebola epidemic have significant oil and gas reserves,” said "Free Press" political analyst, head of the expert-analytical club "Future Today" Vladimir Kireev. - Many people in the world now have serious questions about the origin of this virus, but so far there are no facts on this subject, and therefore there is no point in talking about it. But the fact that the American scientists simultaneously with the spread of the current epidemic announced the discovery of an antiviral drug is very similar to a propaganda move similar to those used, for example, to invade Iraq, where the chemical was supposedly dangerous weapon. The American military-political machine immediately proposed a “solution”, which resulted in its penetration into the hydrocarbon-rich region. ”
The analyst recalled that in November 2011 of the year, African Petroleum Limited announced data on exploration of oil fields off the coast of Sierra Leone and Liberia. The company said that it contains many billions of barrels of oil and that field development may be the most promising in the world.
“For the States, this is also an attempt to deprive China of access to these energy sources,” Kireev notes. “China, as the second economy of the world, is in dire need of oil, and approximately 30% of all the oil it consumes comes from Africa.”
To this we must add something.
Several years ago, Chevron, an American corporation, entered into an exploration and production agreement with the Government of Liberia. In 2010, the Liberian government allowed Chevron to buy 45% of the three deepwater blocks off the coast with a total area of about 1,8 million acres (7364 sq. Km).
In Liberia, the company operates through a subsidiary, Chevron Liberia Limited. Its office is located in Monrovia. The scheme of concessions can be viewed in the figure (source - site "Chevron").
According to the corporation's website, in 2014, Chevron plans to conduct additional drilling based on the 3D seismic data and exploration drilling results for the 2012 year.
Raw material interests in Liberia are pursued by fraternal Canada. The largest corporation Petro-Canada signed an agreement on the exploration and development of oil fields in the 2007 year. The term of the contract is thirty years.
In Sierra Leone, Americans also have long been engaged in geological exploration.
In 2010, an industrial consortium led by the American corporation Anadarko Petroleum (Anadarko - 65%, Spanish-Argentine company Repsol - 25% and the British Tullow Oil - 10%) found oil off the coast of Sierra Leone .
Today, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation operates on the SL-07B-11 offshore unit, with a share in 55%. Co-owners are Repsol (25 percent) and Tullow (20 percent). Source of information open: site Anadarko Petroleum Corporation.
As for Russia, it has enough oil and oil. But the fever is at the very door.
"Vesti" It is reported that under the supervision of Russian medics, within the framework of prophylaxis, there are currently 335 students who come from “countries at risk”.
Anna Popova, Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation, told Interfax that 7.700 students from Africa are studying in Russia, of whom about 1.000 are from “countries at risk”.
“Today, we have 539 students from the countries of West Africa: 27 from Guinea, one from Sierra Leone, 437 from Nigeria, 74 from Congo,” Popova said. “To date, people remain under the supervision of 335, the rest are taken from under observation, because the incubation period on 21 day has passed, and they remained healthy.”
“There is always a threat of the importation of any disease that is present anywhere in the world,” noted Popova. “Migration flows are very intensive, and they only grow every year, so the spread and the delivery of diseases are possible, another thing is how we are ready to prevent the spread.”
It is noted that in Russia, the observation is carried out from boarding the plane to leaving the airport (there is thermal imaging equipment that scans the temperature of a person). Finally, doctors inspect the aircraft, causing them to doubt: come on board with handheld thermal imagers.
As for foreign students, all new arrivals are now placed in a special hospital for examination.
