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, were 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.

You say potato, I say biological warfare.
Dungaree liberty. In Tijuana. Oh yes.
Ebola stays in the body long after youre “cured”.
Here’s the best source (mixed with intense sarcasm at the galactic-class stupidity of various health organizations and politicians) that I know of concerning Ebola: http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/search/label/Ebola
Border Patrol reported illegals caught on the Texas border last month camefrom 50 countries....most of which dont vaccinate their children. Those children will be going to schools with our children and grandchildren. Terrible.
Those poor people.
Please send them directly to San Francisco.
It’s a sanctuary city where they’ll be safe. /S
Sounds to me like Trump is correct that this is an "emergency," in every sense of the word. FACT: Nobody knows whom the judiciary is forcing us to release into this nation. Since the "undocumented" are entitled to wait here for an asylum determination, they can easily lie if they come from quarantined areas, and most likely never appear at their hearings.
I don't understand why PDJT is not doing this with every illegal that crosses the border.
“Symptoms of Ebola virus disease. The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms. First symptoms are the sudden onset of fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.
“This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, symptoms of impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding (e.g. oozing from the gums, blood in the stools).”
so you’re telling me congolese “bio bombs” are now being deployed along our southern border??
wow
camefrom 50 countries....
My God.........
True, but the article was written as if the congolese were just across the mexican border (boarder for those in rio linda) but still in congo.
Consider “shoot on sight” policy
