Now it is in Sierra Leone -- from the Toronto, Canada The Globe and Mail:
Five dead as Sierra Leone records first Ebola outbreak
Five people have died in Sierra Leone’s first confirmed outbreak of Ebola virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday, signalling a new expansion of the disease which regional officials said had been brought under control.Ebola, a haemorrhagic fever with a fatality rate of up to 90 per cent, is believed to have killed some 185 people in neighbouring Guinea and Liberia since March in the first deadly appearance of the disease in West Africa.
And there is this cheery little note:
Ebola is endemic to Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Uganda and South Sudan, and scientists initially believed that Central Africa’s Zaire strain of the disease was responsible for the infections in Guinea and Liberia.
However researchers later published a study saying the West African outbreak was caused by a new strain of Ebola.
Just wonderful -- get a medical protocol for treatment and the disease changes on you...
