Symptoms of the illness include headache, diarrhea, vomiting and confusion, according to Fadela Chaib, a spokeswoman for the WHO. Health officials immediately tested the victims for Ebola, yellow fever and Lassa fever, but they were all ruled out.
Most of the ill attended a funeral for a Christian leader in Greenville on April 22.

Still, the CDC remains vigilant for other possible causes.
Several cases have tested positive for malaria and have been treated accordingly, Skinner said. He added that a CDC team is in Liberia and working closely with the government to provide additional support.
According to George, "We are still not aware of what killed them." Liberian health care providers are conducting new tests and are now "relying on the international community to help determine what the illness may be."
"We don't want to be specific as to the funeral being the reason for the death. We are still investigating and putting our acts together to know what happened," George said.

I smell muslims, and/or the UniParty, behind this.

I have never been in such a dirty place, even after three tours in AFG.
My son went to Nigeria to do QC on one of their projects. He said everything was grossly overcooked to kill all the “bugs”. And they were in a walled compound with food that was shipped in. Then he went to a ship and found the same thing.
