Sudan Ebola is just as deadly as Zaire Ebola, and Rwandans routinely go to “superior” Ugandan medical facilities FWIW. We are on high alert here, since 10 miles away, LRAFB is flying directly in and out of Monrovia, Liberia supporting troops on the ground. Crews spend the night in Liberia and then head back to LRAFB.
But there hasn’t been an outbreak of Sudan Ebola, nor have there been any reported cases of Ebola (Sudan or Zaire strains) in Rwanda, Uganda, or anywhere else within ~2,500 miles of where these kids are from. Quarantining them is ridiculous.
Thank you!
There is more the one outbreak of this virus. All across Africa. The Eastern outbreaks are relatively new and not out of control. Supposedly one is the Marburg strain. Very nasty.
