We are assured Ebola no longer is a problem. Can it be WHO and the CDC are lying? Heaven forbid!

Gang, Ebola is now ENDEMIC TO WEST AFRICA IN PARTICULAR AND AFRICA IN GENERAL. This means EBOLA WILL NEVER GO AWAY. We will continue to see cases over the next 200 years. Ebola began in the Congo in 1976 and has had several outbreaks. Ebola is fortunately, at least for now, only spread by close contact with infected body fluids. this is why the USA dodged the bullet with the original case in Texas. We just don't get close to corpses, or sit next to people with bodily fluids pouring off them.

The next phase of Ebola will be the mutation to an airborne vector, like the cold virus, or the airborne version of the Black Death.

Ebola is here to stay. The collpased systems of West African governments mean it will simmer away quietly until it reaches critical mass and mutates to an airborne version. At that point, it is the end.

I wonder what the "complications" are? I know they have found live virus affecting people's vision after the illness has "run it's course". We may need to redefine "run it's course".

LONDON (AP) — London’s Royal Free Hospital says a nurse who recovered from Ebola last year is being treated for an unusual late complication of the infection.

A military aircraft flew Pauline Cafferkey from her home in Scotland to London early Friday. The hospital says she will now be treated “in the hospital’s high-level isolation unit under nationally agreed guidelines.”

Medical authorities say the risk of Cafferkey transmitting the virus is low, but public health officials in Scotland are monitoring people with whom she had close contact. Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with blood or body fluids.

Cafferkey was diagnosed with Ebola in December after returning from Sierra Leone. She was treated at the Royal Free for several weeks and discharged in January.

A baby born from healthy parents suffering from Ebola in a locality of Lower Guinea

APA-Conakry (Guinea)

A baby born from "healthy parents" tested positive to Ebola virus in the prefecture of Forecariah, not far from the Sierra Leonean border, revealed this Sunday, Fodé Tass Sylla, communications officer of the national response coordination against this epidemic which has already killed more than 3,000 people.

Speaking on the airwaves of a local radio, the communications officer of the national response coordination against Ebola, estimated that the newborn's disease, is part of "atypical cases" in the spread of this devastating disease.

Fodé Tass Sylla said in the aftermath, that the Guinean Prime Minister Mohamed Said Fofana and his government have been made aware of this new contamination that affects a baby, whose parents are declared "healthy" by the results of specialized laboratories in the detection of this disease.

To date, only four confirmed cases are reported in Guinea, and three suspects, he said.
