Ebola on the horizon?

[weezy]

The main reason Ebola is such a huge problem in Africa is because they don't have the proper facilities or awareness to handle an outbreak. We wouldn't see an outbreak on the same scale in the U.S.

I know you're new here, welcome by the way, but if you go back and read this thread from the beginning, you'd know that you're wrong and that WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!

Sierra Leone records zero new Ebola infections - BBC News

There were no new Ebola cases reported last week according to the WHO.

First week without new infections in SL since the outbreak started. So, that's a good thing. Only 2 patients currently being treated, but 81 contacts are being tracked and a handful they haven't found.

So is it now finally safe to say we are not all gonna die, bleeding from our every orifice?

 

[pudly]

No, there are plenty of ways that can happen. That just means that there are no new Ebola cases for now. It is pretty much a given that there will be another outbreak at some point.

Yeah, they seem to have things pretty much under control over there at this point.

But, here's an interesting development:
Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey 'in serious condition' - BBC News

A Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone last year is in a "serious condition" after being readmitted to an isolation unit in London.
...
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) said she had been admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow on Tuesday after feeling unwell and was treated in its infectious diseases unit.
She was then transferred to the Royal Free Hospital in the early hours of Friday morning due to an "unusual late complication" in her illness.

Vaccines are coming along nicely now though. That was the necessary step in controlling this outbreak and likely could be brought into use a lot faster if needed again.

Scottish Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey 'critically ill' - BBC News

Ruh roh, Raggy.

Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who is being treated for complications from Ebola, is now "critically ill", doctors have said.
Ms Cafferkey, 39, was readmitted to a specialist isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in London last week.
The hospital said in a statement that her condition had deteriorated.

It might be something unrelated to ebola - meningitis was mentioned - but it reflects the notion that we don't really know the long-term effects of ebola infection on the body. I guess the good news is that it doesn't appear to be any more contagious than before.
