BBC News - Ebola: Democratic Republic of Congo says its outbreak is over

A three-month Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has ended after claiming at least 49 lives, the country's health minister says.

Felix Kabange said no new cases had been registered since 4 October, though he warned against complacency.

The country's outbreak is unrelated to the one in West Africa which has claimed more than 5,000 lives.

Ebola was first detected in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Saturday's announcement came 42 days after the last new Ebola case in the country - Ebola outbreaks are usually declared over when two full cycles of the virus' 21 day incubation period finish without further infections.

Ebola can and will be beaten, it is not going to infect and kill millions of Americans.

This once again proves the voices of doom on your monitor, your TV screen and your radio and even on this very forum are outright lying to you in a bid to sell a story and cause hysteria.

These people have acted in a irresponsible manner.


 
How is this possible with Eboma as president Ebola was to kill millions of Americans

Well thank goodness for that, that the outbreak in Congo is over. Never did buy into the inevitable doom and gloom, but acknowledged that a risk did exist that it could happen. Just not very likely.

Ebola virus level falls after treatment by San Diego company Aethlon dialysis machine | UTSanDiego.com

The patient, a Ugandan doctor who had treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, has recovered from the potentially fatal disease.

Before treatment with Aethlon’s Hemopurifier, the patient had 400,000 virus particles per milliliter of blood. After the dialysis, which lasted about six and a half hours, the “viral load” dropped to 1,000 per milliliter and never rose above that level again, said Dr. Helmut Geiger. He is chief of nephrology at Frankfurt University Hospital in Germany, where the patient received his Ebola care.

Ebola cases plummet in Liberian hot spot as aid groups gain community trust - The Washington Post

The number of new Ebola patients has fallen to practically zero in one of Liberia’s hardest-hit areas because aid workers gained the trust of the community so the sick were treated quickly and the dead were buried safely, according to a report released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This has nothing to do with the outbreak in West Africa.

No it doesn't, but it shows how that outbreaks can be contained when the right actions are taken and there is a swift response, unlike in West Africa where that did not take place.

Are you just being obtuse for the sake of it or what?

My point is pretty well spelled out in the OP but apparently reading is an issue for you... why don't you go back to wanting to arrest children that take pictures with Jesus statues.

You're derailing your own thread?

No one claimed that the Ebola outbreak in the Congo was a threat to America.

Or did he?



I swear to god some people believe this is how Obama really thinks.

You don't get it, man, he's playing the long con. First he gets us good and used to Ebola so we don't consider it a threat, then he releases it again and bam!...sayonara civilization.
