A public health official in Laredo, Texas, said 20 Congolese migrants were monitored for Ebola and other diseases in shelters in his city and across the Mexican border in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. Shortly after his announcement during a Laredo City Council meeting, the World Health Organization (WHO) considered declaring a “global emergency” in response to a massive outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
“We have 8 Congolese right now in one of our shelters and a dozen in Nuevo Laredo,” Laredo Health Director Dr. Hector Gonzalez told the Laredo City Councilman George Altget during a council meeting on April 4. “For them, my concern was Ebola.” He said that due to the time element, the Congolese migrants were not developing symptoms of Ebola. “But, we’re on alert to check that,” he said.
A report from the WHO states that, as of April 10, there have been more than 1,200 reported cases of Ebola in the Congo (1,140 confirmed, 66 probable). Those cases resulted in the deaths of 764 patients (698 confirmed, 66 probable). On Friday, The WHO decided the outbreak does not yet constitute a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).”
A top Red Cross official told NBC News on Friday that he is “more concerned than I have ever been” about the current outbreak of Ebola spreading regionally. Emanuele Capobianco cited statistics from the Congolese health ministry confirming 40 new cases over a two-day period last week. NBC reported that the official called the rate unprecedented in this particular outbreak.
Doctors Without Borders responded to the lack of action from the WHO.

Congolese? Unbelievable.
Where they come from, the disease is cured through rape.
This is your country on cultural enrichment.
Another “manufactured crisis”.
Spit.
My memory of geography must be getting fuzzy. I didn’t recall Congo having a border with Mexico.
Dang it. I live near Dallas, and I am STILL filling out forms saying we don’t have a high fever, suspicious rash or any recent travel to Africa ... because of the Ebola refugee a couple of years ago.
The entire world knows the easy and guaranteed way to get into the US is through the Mexico border. Even jihadists know this.
Wonder how long they monitored them. Ebola takes 21+ days to show up. Don’t think we’re allowed to keep them that long.
Ebola stays in the body long after you’re “cured”. It is found in semen for six months or more. That female British nurse has had relapses at least 3 times over the past several years.
Sure a rape here and there or a few drunken one night stands. Throw in a family doctor who isn’t looking for Ebola. And you’ve got an epidemic.
Just send them to Nancy’s house.
WALK-INS, no doubt.
Cross-Fire Hurricane brought them in. /s
They deserve sanctuary ASAP.
Survivors are carriers. It appears that the virus can never be completely eliminated from an infected person, although it seems to go dormant. What makes it go active again is unknown.
The primary reservoir of Ebola in Africa is not fruit bats or apes. It is humans who have some genetic resistance to the virus that causes it to go dormant.
Coming soon to an uncontrolled southern border nearby.
Better get good at mass production of the vaccine.
ACK!!!
So Ebloa ridden people from the CONGO are at the southern border?
This has to freaking stop.
Who the EFF is paying people from the CONGO to come here?
90,000 marines at camp pendleton looking for a mission
Were these “migrants” documented or did they lose their documents?
Neither is Cuba, China, Tibet, Nigeria, Syria and a whole bunch more. The Mexicans are the least number of all the invaders.
How easy is it, pay an illegal animal infected with ebola or say a few hundred illegal animals, they take the money for their families they leave behind and infect the united states. So coincidental that the HBO movie hot point about the ebola virus infective the country is about to be aired
sanctuary cities hit hardest
