CBS News reported on Sunday that least six American citizens have been exposed to Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Three of them encountered a “high-risk contact or exposure” and one is displaying symptoms of illness.
The CBS report was based on “sources with international aid organizations.” The sources said it was unclear if any of the Americans had been infected with Ebola. Even the symptomatic case might not be a confirmed infection, since Ebola shares early symptoms with other ailments, including muscle pains, skin rashes, fever, nosebleeds, and vomiting blood.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in its latest bulletin that the “risk to the American public remains low” from the Congo outbreak. CDC advised Americans traveling to the Congo and neighboring regions of Uganda to “practice enhanced precautions,” including avoidance of people who display symptoms associated with Ebola.
CDC said it was “supporting interagency partners who are actively coordinating the safe withdrawal of a small number of Americans who are directly affected by this outbreak,” which would seem to confirm the basics of the CBS report, although CDC did not specify how many American citizens were involved.
At a press conference on Sunday, CDC Response Incident Manager Satish Pillai declined to confirm whether any Americans were exposed or infected. He added that he was unaware of any infected individuals boarding international flights and said screening procedures were in place at airports in the DRC and Uganda.
The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory for the DRC, upgraded from Level 3 on Sunday due to the “Ebola Bundibugyo Virus Disease outbreak in Ituri province.” The previous travel advisory was based largely on crime, violent unrest, and humanitarian crises in the eastern Congo.

I guess since Hantavirus turned out to be a dud now they are returning to the Ebola outbreak BS in order to shut down the country
Why do I get the impression that I’ve just walked into a Tom Clancy novel?
rat virus didnt work?->
Michael Bostic-Jones, Joy Reid’s father, is from DR Congo. Mother from Guyana.
16 separate outbreaks of Ebola including new one.
From 1976 to now, Congo has had the most outbreaks of Ebola “Most outbreaks begin in remote areas. Experts theorize that heavy forested areas containing infected fruit bats may be to blame for the multiple outbreaks in the DR Congo.” —Mercy Corps.
Whats all this fuss about Doctor Congo?
🙄................
Gone from rats back to bats, I see.
It’s always sumthin...............
Here’s an idea... Bring them all back to America... Preferably L.A.
Deep state and media are working overtime to find any reason to re-institute scamdemic protocols before the election
The “experts” are working hard to get Ebola into America.
Don’t go to the Congo!
They don’t have to go to such great lengths. There is a New World equivalent Hemorrhagic Fever in our hemisphere that is just as bad, though rarely transmitted to humans.
BRAVE AI:
The New World hemorrhagic fevers are caused by Arenaviruses of the Tacaribe complex, which are primarily transmitted to humans via rodent reservoirs in the Americas.
Key diseases in this category include:
Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever (caused by the Junin virus)
Bolivian Hemorrhagic Fever (caused by the Machupo virus)
Venezuelan Hemorrhagic Fever (caused by the Guanarito virus)
Brazilian Hemorrhagic Fever (caused by the Sabiá virus)
Chapare Hemorrhagic Fever (caused by the Chapare virus)
These viruses are distinct from Old World arenaviruses (like Lassa virus) and are classified as Category A biological agents due to their potential for high mortality and aerosolized transmission.
Don’t go to Africa period!..........
Democrats would love to send them to a Trump Rally.
Quick! Bring ‘em here to the U.S.A.!!
