Illness with Ebola-like symptoms kills several in Congo - locals

Wed Aug 20, 2014 1:02pm GMT

KINSHASA Aug 20 (Reuters) - Democratic Republic of Congo has sent its health minister and a team of experts to the remote northern Equateur province after several people died there from a disease with Ebola-like symptoms, a local official and a professor said on Wednesday.

It was not immediately clear if there was any connection with Ebola. An epidemic of that disease has killed more than 1,200 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Isn't the Congo the area where Ebola originated (named after the Ebola river)?
Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

Yes. Odd that it may have reappeared there. Or not. The two year old "patient zero" wasn't eating abowlafruitybatpoos. Somehow I think it began in Congo again. Anyone from there could have brought to Guinea on a moped in a couple days.

The Congo is not a big factor in all this.  This Ebola probably emerged from the Congo, and God only knows what's taking place there now.
