13 dead of Ebola in Congo

   "A report from the U.N. mission in Congo on Tuesday said 13 people there had died from Ebola, including five health workers."

What I find most interesting is that WHO shut down a lab after one of its workers was infected with Ebola.  Isn't it strange that WHO should take such drastic steps when they keep telling us just how difficult it is to catch Ebola unless you've had contact with infected bodily fluids?
The WHO said that this shutdown is only a temporary measure so that they can take care of the welfare of their remaining workers.  Well, if those remaining workers have had no contact with infected bodily fluids, then why the worry?  It seems they have more concern for their own people than they do the rest of the world.

"A 65-year-old woman with Ebola-like symptoms died in the Equateur's capital Mbandaka."  This is a city of over 700,000 people on the west side of the Congo.
