Ebola has spread almost 50 miles through rural communities in Uganda - with cases clustered near a busy road leading from the capital Kampala to the Democratic Republic of Congo, health officials revealed on Thursday.

“As of today, we have seven confirmed cases of whom we have one confirmed death,” Lt. Col Dr Kyobe Henry Bbosa, who is currently leading Uganda's Ebola response, told journalists. “But we also have seven probable cases that died before the confirmation of the outbreak.”
Dr Bbosa said that authorities had not identified the so-called index case or “patient zero”. But he added that the outbreak appeared to have started around the beginning of September, “when people started dying” in a small village in Mubende district in central Uganda.
So far 43 contacts have been identified, while ten people are believed to have caught the virus. Dr Bbosa added that the infections were spread out over an area of about 70km (43m).

The outbreak was announced on Tuesday, and is a relatively rare form of the disease known as the Ebola strain.
While there is a tried and tested vaccine for the standard Zaire strain of Ebola, which has been instrumental in halting several outbreaks in DR Congo, no vaccine has been approved to combat the Sudan strain.
WHO officials say they are working hard to identify potential vaccine candidates which might be effective against the Sudan strain. So far, three potential jabs have been identified as potentially effective, with one of them produced in part by Oxford University.
Vaccine approval and manufacturing can take years. But if infections begin to skyrocket and the vaccines are deemed safe, vaccine trials could potentially start in the field within “weeks”, according to Dr Ana Maria Henao-Restrepo from WHO’s epidemics research and development team.

Call Dr. Fauci, he’ll make it a lot worse.
The CDC is the last agency I’d ever expect to rid us of any disease. They seem to think disease is good business for their wallets.
Me neither.
I use to have so much respect for doctors.....use to being the key phrase....
Biden/Obama “We have to bring the infected here to treat them!”
Kaci Hickox 2.0 coming soon?
(The plan was an ebola pandemic back during Brak’s reign. They tried very hard to make it spread.)
Why is the baboon that is trying to play God still alive/walking free??
Sounds like the commie RAT party can’t wait to get Ebola into America. More control over the people by the Communist Party. We’re screwed again. I never thought I’d live to see the internal enemies of America be allowed to use biological weapons on us.
We have to have 100% mail-in voting or we’re all gonna die from Ebola...
Signed,

Having done a fair amount of travelling in rural areas of East (and southern) Africa I’m am absolutely astounded that anyone can live past the age of five. And everything I’ve heard and read suggests that Central,and West,Africa are even worse.
Quick, kill er vaccinate everyone.
I won't print the rest of what I'm thinking. It's...not polite.
