Three patients escaped from quarantine in the city of Mbandaka in north western Democratic Republic of Congo.

Two of the three have been found dead, while a third patient has been found alive.

Medecins Sans Frontieres' (MSF) mission in the city confirmed the incident as they work to treat cases of Ebola.

The death toll of the outbreak has reached 27 as health chiefs crackdown on the virus.

World Health Organisation bosses have previously warned spread in the city could mean a repeat of the 2014 outbreak – which killed over 11,000.

…

WHO have shipped more than 8,600 vaccines to DRC, in a desperate attempt to prevent the spread of Ebola.

Another 8,000 are expected to arrive in coming days.

Doctors have hailed the latest dose of the vaccine a "paradigm shift" in fighting the disease.

And medical chiefs at WHO have claimed the world is much more prepared than in 2014.

Africa wins again

(Note: When you have the plague, and you're quarantined... escaping to spread more of the disease in the hours before you die is not the best idea.)

The horror... the horror.

Yep and what do you bet Trump leaves it right where it is! That crap won’t be invited to America this time.

Well, that’s good news /sarc

I’m convinced that Mother Nature hid a stupid gene inside all of our DNA, so that if the population ever got too large, enough people with an activated stupid gene would be available to cause immense numbers of deaths, thus saving the species from starvation.

Run.

But of course. These people have an IQ of less than 70 in most cases. They can't understand the big picture; it's all about "them". Spreading disease into uninfected areas? "Hey, not my problem."

They’ll be doing the Ebola hokey-pokey there soon.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

“Medecins Sans Frontieres’ (MSF) mission in the city”

May they be the first to become infected.

A thread earlier today mentioned that it was widely believed Ebola is caused by witchcraft, so infected persons want to get out of useless modern hospitals and see their local witch-doctor, pronto.
