    Unless the scientists are talking about the gays, the fetuses, or the mental, then they're tools of Satan.

    Second and maybe a Third Outbreak has occurred
    The number of people known or suspected to be infected with Ebola in the West African outbreak is increasing, and the rate at which it is increasing is increasing. About 40 new cases are being reported per day on average, but the number of new cases has been going up by a few a day.

    However, it is still unclear that these numbers represent what is actually happening on the ground. There is little confidence that the WHO has a good idea of who is currently stricken with the disease, and efforts to contain those who are have had mixed results.

    A second outbreak is now occurring in the DR Congo (formerly Zaire). This is a second separate outbreak. So, it is NOT correct to say that Ebola has spread into the Congo. It didn’t. It emerged there independently.

    What are the chances of that happening? I have long maintained that the conditions for Ebola spreading into human populations include factors that make the overall chance of that happening, for a large region, go up enough for multiple simultaneous epidemics to be more likely than chance might suggest. Perhaps I’ll discuss my reasoning for that another time. In any event, the DR Congo outbreak, about which we know very little so far, appears to be a different strain of Ebola, so this is not the Wester African Ebola spreading to Central Africa.

    There are reports of a third outbreak of an unknown disease that might be Ebola also in the DR Congo. But that could be a lot of things. Including Ebola… so we shall see.

    Also, there is one new case in Nigeria, after a period of several days with no new cases.

    Latest Update Sept. 30, 2014: The CDC has confirmed a person in Dallas definitely has the Ebola virus.
    http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/healt...tion/16460629/
    DALLAS — A patient in a Dallas hospital has been confirmed to have the deadly Ebola virus, News 8 has learned.

    That person has been held in "strict isolation" as he or she was evaluated for possible exposure to the virus.

    This is the first case of Ebola confirmed in the United States.

    In a statement issued Tuesday night, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas said the patient was admitted based on symptoms and "recent travel history."

    Because caring about more than one thing is literally impossible and everything is now a competition for sympathy?

    The disease is only contagious when the fever is present. Also the dude isn't even from America, he contracted it elsewhere and came here, symptoms showed up and now he's been under strict quarantine.
