The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that health officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo have confirmed a potential new Ebola epidemic could get underway in a remote province in the northeast part of the country.
The DR Congo Ministry of Health notified the WHO and other health partners yesterday of one lab-confirmed case of Ebola after three people died from a hemorrhagic fever.
Ebola is a viral disease that’s highly contagious and potentially fatal. It’s spread through contact with the bodily fluids of someone with the illness. It’s also called Ebola hemorrhagic fever.
Nine people in the Bas-Uele province were stricken with high fever and other symptoms on or after April 22.
The confirmed case is related to one of the nine infected. The report comes after the disease was considered contained after first being identified in 1976.

It will spread over here just a matter of time
Awesome! Natural population control! Weed out the weak!
WHO is worthless so is the UN
We should let them all emigrate here family friends so they can get the treatment our veterans should get !!!! All of them should move to Chicago solve tee for one !!!
Seal it up period. Don’t make same mistakes as before no one in no one out until way past incubation period.
Don’t touch your friends!
The “good” thing about ebola is that it spreads and acts so quickly it will burn itself out IF proper quarantine measures are followed.
Maybe if we could get the World Health Organization to declare ISIS an epidemic, the UN would finally DO something about them.
Especially where it counts.
