44,000 villagers deemed to be at ebola risk

Yes, thanks, they have been kinda ongoing since then with a Marburg outbreak in between.

It's spread by swapping fluids, and those people just can't understand that...

You're so wrong. everyone knows its witch craft

No, that's Earthquakes and floods...diseases like this are a punishment for nastiness...

Sorry, but that would be racist because they're black.

The ignorance is simply stunning... we are all doomed by the over population of these feral people

Travel restrictions would be bad for the economy-WHO is full of shit and does not exist to protect us.

Since aids didn't work.... Same thing though possibly more contagious than expected.

Yeah, and I had high hopes for AIDS...the trick is not letting it kill too fast or too long, it's a difficult task...

For those of you who haven't been following ebola outbreaks and the nature of this virus, this is a very good NOVA documentary on how an Ebola outbreak is controlled. It also gives wonderful history on both this virus and Marburg.

Arm yourselves with knowledge!

Why is Ebola not a problem anywhere else in the world? It's a disease of the dirty and stupid...

take your victory lap Brief...

Initial efforts to contain the outbreak have been challenged by a myth it is the work of witchcraft.

sexually dirty as well

Ignorant Americans use this to make racist remarks about Africans

When in truth, all the ebola outbreaks occurred right after bombs blew up outside the villages, depositing weird substances into the drinking water

We needed a way to test out some new chemical warfare. Isn't it strange how a sudden case of AIRBORNE EBOLA now exists near the bombed villages? This is a virus strain that could only be replicated in a lab.

It's only a matter of time before the testing phase is over with and it gets introduced onto american soil.

Of course, that's all they do is fuck and run around killing each other...

The African tradition for curing AIDS is raping a baby...yet not one case has ever been cured...

doing great work trey fish deservs a pin

It happens and then it's over, ebola seems to be containable or it would have spread outside of the country. I think this is common in Uganda. I don't see a worldwide threat.

Scary stuff. Can't believe the stoopid Muslims putting their sorry excuse of a religion ahead of their own welfare...would serve them right if it spreads and annihiliates them all...all to wash a dead and nasty body.

CHF 107,056 has been allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Uganda Red Cross Society in delivering immediate assistance directly to 585 people affected by Ebola, 100 households at risk, and 3,628,390 people indirectly. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged.

Summary: This DREF request is in response to a request from the Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) to Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) for support as a result of the series of haemorrhagic fever outbreaks in the country.These outbreaks have resulted in depletion of the health care service delivery systems budget.
