More than 1,100 people were suspected of having contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring Uganda, the head of the African Union's health agency said on Sunday in a commentary for the Financial Times.
Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention director general Jean Kaseya said there were 263 confirmed cases in both countries as of Saturday, with 43 confirmed deaths.
More than 1,100 suspected cases were still being investigated, he wrote in the editorial. On Thursday, the Africa CDC said there had been 246 suspected deaths from the virus.
"We must move at the speed of the epidemic," added Kaseya, criticising Africa's dependence on outside financial support.
The health ministers of the DR Congo, Uganda and South Sudan recently adopted a $319-million response plan to the outbreak.
"That momentum must now expand across the continent," Kaseya said, calling the latest Ebola outbreak a "serious test" for the Africa CDC and the African Union.
"This outbreak will not be the last," he added.
The outbreak was declared on May 15 in Ituri, in the northeast DR Congo, which is home to more than 100 million people and is one of the poorest countries in the world.

Ebola could be God’s answer to Low IQ people.
I don’t think the continent is going to be de-populated.
Soon to land at an airport near you, and rubbing shoulders with folks on a flight here.
AI sez :
, Ebola is a communicable disease. It is a severe, often fatal viral illness that spreads from person to person through direct contact with body fluids (such as blood, saliva, sweat, vomit, or feces) of an infected person who is showing symptoms, or through contaminated surfaces and objects
So, as long as you are not humping a Congolese Zombie, you’re good as long as the Congolese Zombies stay their asses in Africa and aren’t imported to rape rob and pillage .
Perhaps you’d be at risk.
All these diseases,wars,famine and their population keeps expanding..who’s kidding who?
Ebola is the cabal’s answer to a midterm election that will finish them off.
And ebola will not allow for election fraud.
The cabal is certainly kidding themselves.
And those who serve them, for example the racial division lobby.
Democrats answer to Ebola is to give them U.S. citizenship….
Nah, I’m good. But clearly you aren’t if you don’t know the data that backs up what I stated.
Several well placed air urst MOABs would resolve the issue.
I don’t wish to appear unsympathetic, but these kinds of “emergencies” cause me to wonder if people aren’t looking for more free money from Uncle Sam.
Probably managed by the un 'who'????!!!???
They are more 'F'-ed the usual.
Carpet bomb with Napalm...../s - could happen........

Telling it like it is.

Another good reason to never visit the Congo.
Last week I asked AI if I had better odds of winning the lottery vs catching Ebola.
AI posted the odds of winning a jackpot of a billion dollars and said that I did have a chance of winning.
AI also said that if I were to stay in America , the odds of me catching Ebola was Zero !! Zero chance . So, unless someone brings Ebola to the USA , we are safe.
Now who would want to bring Ebola to the USA ? Who ?
No naked Twister with Congolese corpses. Right OFF my bucket list.
“Several well placed air urst MOABs would resolve the issue.”
or nuke ‘em from space; it’s the only way to be sure ...
