目前尚不清楚公共当局是如何影响塞拉利昂对埃博拉病毒的反应的。以一个村庄为例，我们分析了“人员、材料、空间和系统”缺失的情况。邻居之间的相互关系，与秘密社团联系在一起，需要集体照顾受感染的亲人，而不顾风险。实践学习很快。据报道，与被送往埃博拉治疗中心的人相比，在隐蔽地点接受治疗的人康复的人数更高。我们的研究结果挑战了埃博拉后关于国际援助和军事部署的积极叙述。在包括最高领导人在内的外部监督下，一种合乎道德的人文科学出现了。
It is unclear how public authorities shaped responses to Ebola in Sierra Leone. Focusing on one village, we analyze what happened when "staff, stuff, space, and systems" were absent. Mutuality between neighbors, linked to secret societies, necessitated collective care for infected loved ones, irrespective of the risks. Practical learning was quick. Numbers recovering were reported to be higher among people treated in hidden locations, compared to those taken to Ebola Treatment Centres. Our findings challenge positive post-Ebola narratives about international aid and military deployment. A morally appropriate people's science emerged under the radar of external scrutiny, including that of a paramount chief.
