The Lassa fever outbreak is a good example of collective inertia in Nigeria, year in, year out.

We know the cause and enablers of this often fatal condition, and we know that every year, we have a rise in cases during the dry season.

We are all to bear some culpability for the hundreds of deaths that this eminently preventable disease causes. 

Will there be a similar no-response, response next year?

You bet!
