My guess is that 99% of these cases will turn out to either be a common illness or a case of nerves on the part of people who either were in West Africa or in contact with someone who was.

When I was in Uganda that was a lot of international money for AIDS but none for malaria which appeared to be the real problem.

Properly used DDT would be a great solution there. Thanks, Rachael!

When I was in Uganda that was a lot of international money for AIDS but none for malaria which appeared to be the real problem.

There was an article on FR many years ago about that. The author had done a study on mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa due to infectious diseases pre and post-AIDS. He found that there was no discernible difference. His conclusion was that many deaths attributed to AIDS were just named that to keep foreign money flowing.

In truth it's a scandal that more has not been done about malaria and other endemic diseases in Africa.
