Sierra Leone's government on Saturday urged the public not to panic as it announced that more than 100 people had been quarantined following a new death from Ebola just as the country seemed to have overcome the epidemic.
The World Health Organisation on Friday confirmed that a 22-year-old woman who died after falling ill near the Guinean border last week had tested positive for the tropical fever. The announcement came a day after west Africa was celebrating the end of the outbreak after Liberia became the last of the three worst-hit countries in the region to be declared Ebola-free.

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...

They’ve got to lay off the mutilated monkey meat. Bushman is the transmission vector.

That’s right sagar,
Just three days ago the obammy white hut bragged that the ebola crisis was over.
Guess they lie about any and everything in obammys federal gub mint.
That’s what you get when you elect someone who’s only credit is being a quota boy.
