Why are they spraying chlorine on our people?This is why we've so many innocent deaths in Sierra Leone.This is an act of pure stupidity on the side of some of these untrain,heartless and illiterate health workers in Sierra Leone. Our people are dying not because of Ebola...but because of the chlorine some of these wicked and heartless health workers are spraying on them.Spraying Chlorine on someone will result in the person experience shortness of breathing, swallowing, or skin contact and this are all symptoms of Ebola.......So tell me folks who is killing our people.Is it the Ebola virus or some of our unqualified and untrained/illiterate health workers?I'm personally appealing to authorities concern to stop these murderers from killing our people.

FACTS ABOUT CHLORINE:

Chlorine is a chemical used in industry and in household cleaning products. Chlorine is among the ten highest volume chemicals made in the United States. At room temperature, chlorine is a gas. It has a yellow-green color, and a pungent, irritating odor similar to bleach. Usually, it is pressurized and cooled for storage and shipment as an amber-colored liquid. Chlorine does not catch fire easily, but may combine with other common substances to form explosive compounds.
