If anything, u cld say West Africa got a bit of a #headstart in pandemic virus management with exposure to the #EbolaVirusDisease, #EVD, 5 yrs ago. Sierra Leone, Guinea-Conakry & #Nigeria were 3 countries in the region that saw #EVD up close. So how have the prepared?
U can choose where u begin but Sierra Leone is as good a place as any: it was epicentre of another virus, Ebola, just 5 yrs ago. While #COVID19 was processing entry visa in China, on 21 Feb, @PresidentBio decided to wed a 2nd time a wife he wedded in 2013

The suit alleges that the mismanagement & loss of funds earmarked for Ebola response caused violations of the rights of the plaintiffs to life & health under the revised ECOWAS Treaty & other international law & frustrated maximum available resources from fighting Ebola. 
According to the @WHO, Sierra Leone recorded a total of 14,124 confirmed cases & 3,956 deaths during the crisis between May 2014 & March 2016, including over 250 health workers, who took on the task of containing the outbreak.
