Ebola outbreak confirmed in DR Congo: WHO

Sep 11 07:44 AM US/Eastern

The World Health Organisation said Tuesday that five cases of the deadly Ebola virus had been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, after dozens of people succumbed to an unidentified illness in recent months.
The five cases of the viral haemorrhagic illness were confirmed in western Kasai in the centre of the vast African country, WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib told journalists in Geneva.

Ebola causes the patient to bleed under the skin and in severe cases, from the mouth, ears and eyes. The virus, which has no known cure, is highly infectious for those who come into contact with a victim's body fluids.

That is frightening for sure. Ebola isn't an airborne infection is it?

It is horrible. Some of the people don't know how to properly care for the infected or have the equipment, (gloves, masks, scrubs, sterilization supplies,...) to do so, so they in turn, are at high risk to become infected. It's just horrible because entire villages can fall ill in a matter of a few weeks.

It's not an airborn virus, but is highly contagious.

From WHO:

The Ebola virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected persons.Transmission of the Ebola virus has also occurred by handling ill or dead infected chimpanzees.

No, it's not but viruses can mutate and become airborne. God helkp us if this one did. And there are worse diseases than Ebola. Watch the movie Outbreak. It's a bit Holywood but the concept of what could happen is sound and scary.
