Doctors scramble to contain new Ebola outbreak as virus spreads
The Telegraph via msn.com ^ | 9/22/22 | Will Brown

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.

Contagious victims on the way to rushed “immigrant” status in the United States. Texas and Florida hospital emergency rooms the first stop before welfare and Dem Party registration for ones who don’t die on the way.

I wish my satires stayed fictional.

This is exactly what happened back in 2015 or whatever year it was.

Generally it wasn’t as bad as I feared, but still, foreigners from Africa should be cut off from coming to the US when those Ebola outbreaks get bad.

Ebola is multiple times worse than COVID.

One of the many negative effects of the covid hysteria is, many will not believe any dire warning about serious deadly outbreaks when they are actually warranted. As for myself I don’t believe anything they say now.

Obama literally imported ebola into America and put every American life at risk of a potential outbreak, and some still say that he was not a domestic, or more likely foreign, enemy of America.

I have heard it reported that Ebola is just one of several deadly viral strands they have embedded within the Covid19 “vaccines” using lipid nanoparticals encased in graphene oxide shells... which can then be “triggered” by EMF radiation (5G bursts) to release them into the body.

DO I believe it? It’s hard to... but would I put it past them?

Hell no.

well, yes and no.

the chinee flu was manufactured fear porn, exacerbated by government, big pharma and media to kill and be seen as a killer.

Ebola is genuinely deadly and can't be promoted as a pandemic: it kills too fast to spread much in the first world.

October-prize virus! Elections postponed. The host is going to bleed out from votes. They need to find mandates and emergency use authorizations to put into place ASAP!

Because the Covid vaccines adversely impact the immune system, it seems likely we have a greater risk of an Ebola outbreak now than before. This connection will never be acknowledged or considered by big medicine or the MSM.

Right on schedule.

About six months ago Bill Gates threatened us with an ebola pandemic, to be right in the footsteps of a pox epidemic.

Will the Democrats fly in a few plane loads a month before the mid term elections?
