Hey you know what? I never heard of Ebola in the passed few weeks!

Only few months ago it was the most incredible disease ever, so dangerous and all.

And now nobody talks about it and all the media start to tchat about the Zika virus.

Am I the only one having the impression that they just talk because they need to?

Interesting thing, the main focus of ebola is west coast of africa where are the poorest countries and also Uganda..it looks like nobody is doing anything there...just letting them die..These people lives in miserable conditions, and nothing is more easier then to expand the virus..

Liberia has now been declared ebola-free by the WHO.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/10/world/africa/liberia-is-free-of-ebola-world-health-organization-declares.html?_r=0

The World Health Organization declared Liberia free of Ebola on Saturday, making it the first of the three hardest-hit West African countries to bring a formal end to the epidemic.

“The outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Liberia is over,” the W.H.O. said in a statement read by Dr. Alex Gasasira, the group’s representative to Liberia, in a packed conference room at the emergency command center in Monrovia, the capital.

Just before Dr. Gasasira’s statement, Luke Bawo, an epidemiologist, showed a map depicting all of Liberia in green with the number 42 superimposed on it. This represented that two maximum incubation periods of the virus, a total of 42 days, had passed since the safe burial of the last person confirmed to have had Ebola in the country, fulfilling the official criteria for concluding that human-to-human transmission of the virus has ended.

Once again to shut the problem in that country. When Ebola went there many mighty moved so he could not affect them. It's a shame what is happening with this disease.

Nothing new. We are talking about a country where people are earning $1 per hour and were raiding clinics full of sick people just to steal blankets.
Imagine what they would do if there was a possibility of stealing large sums of money. If only they could use the money to improve their living conditions, but no, they'll buy drugs hookers and weapons.

Remember that Liberia is the country which was established by freed slaves from the United States of America two centuries ago. They should have stayed behind in the Southern US, rather than returning to their "homeland". They would have been much better in the US.

Probably if their choices were made in the mid-1960s or later your reasoning would be right; however Liberia was settled and later established as an independent country in the 19th century, well before the African-American Civil Rights Movement. At the time, Settlers undoubtely has some grounds to hope about a better life in their African homeland.

There is good news. Liberia seems to be free of Ebola, after losing more than 4,000 of its citizens to the deadly disease. Now the outbreak is confined to Guinea and Sierra Leone. But worryingly, scandals are erupting in Liberia over stolen aid money, which was supposed to be used for fighting Ebola. Millions of USD worth of funds are missing from the bank accounts.

The total number of cases have crossed 25K mark:

http://time.com/3765302/ebola-cases-reach-25000/

It has been more than a year now, and there is no end in sight. Every week ~100 new cases are being reported. Almost all the cases are being reported from Guinea and Sierra Leone. There has been only one case from Liberia in the past 3 weeks time.

That one does seem sort of amusing and a bit scary for a miscarriage.
Haven't been tracking it for a while, besides the occasional article calling it a major disaster that could have been better managed.


Probably a vaccine induced virus ate away the gray matter of the kid's brain as fast as it was forming. The result was a misshapen skull that resembled two horns in some ways. The horns were actually part of the bone above the eyes. I have see other like this... maybe worse.
