So Ebola's back......

Eighty dead so far and it's spread from Guinea to Liberia. Though not to Canada.

Lovely little virus group, causes hemorrhagic fever and, usually, death.




Quote:








Guinea's President Alpha Conde warned on Sunday of a "health emergency" as authorities raced to contain a spiralling Ebola epidemic which has killed 78 people and prompted neighbouring Senegal to close its border.

Guinea's health ministry said that 122 "suspicious cases" of viral haemorrhagic fever, including 78 deaths, had been registered.

President Conde said his country was facing a "health emergency" but that "thanks to the international community, all measures have been taken to effectively fight this epidemic."

Latest information on the outbreak "allows us to be optimistic and confident about achieving a final and rapid success in our response to this problem," he said on public television, urging people not to panic.



Strangely little interest from the CT nuts on this one though.
