[quote:Rose8:MV8zODg3NTE5XzcwMDc1NzQyX0I3MUQ0ODBC] [quote:Aya house ca:MV8zODg3NTE5XzcwMDYyOTMwX0JDN0I4M0Uz] I am with you OP. With all the conditions listed above this could be a real threat. The interesting part of this is that the virus tested Ebola Zaire, rather than the Sudan Ebola virus, or other types that appear in that location. Makes you wonder if someone travelled outside of the previous outbreak and has carried it into its current location. Incubation period is long so it is possible. The cynic in me thinks something else going going onm . Sure gives them ample opportunity to test the new vaccines :Idol1: [/quote] I think of how with conflict, fewer people will seek medical attention to avoid being shot, for instance. Or of a raid where a sick house is contacted unawares. I think there are several scenarios that could go all wrong. I think the next month will reveal much. [/quote]

New outbreak has been confirmed:
Two more people have died from Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo's latest outbreak in North Kivu province, the country's Health Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
That brings the total number of deaths in the latest outbreak to 36, according to the Health Ministry.
On Tuesday, the World Health Organization confirmed that the latest cases in Congo's North Kivu province are part of the Zaire strain of the virus and that there is no link to a separate outbreak, which occurred in the western Equateur province that has since been declared over.
"It's good news and it's very bad news," WHO Deputy Director-General for Emergency Preparedness and Response Peter Salama told journalists in Geneva, after the new cases were first confirmed.
Furthermore, immunizations have begun:

The vaccinations have begun just one week after the announcement of a second outbreak of Ebola this year in the country. A total of 44 cases have been reported so far, of which 17 have been confirmed.
