    Ebola is spreading again in Congo — this time in an active war zone

    Ebola is spreading again in Congo — this time in an active war zone

    Not only a war zone, but a heavily populated part of the Congo. The WHO is deploying their new vaccines that they developed due to the last Ebola outbreak.

    Just one week after an outbreak of the Ebola virus was extinguished in northwestern Congo, a new one was declared in the country’s conflict-hit northeast. This is Congo’s 10th Ebola outbreak since the 1970s, and some health officials are worried it might be the hardest to contain.

    The new outbreak is centered on a thickly populated stretch of Congo’s eastern border with Uganda — an area that is also the epicenter of decades-long clashes between dozens of militias that have forced millions into squalid refugee camps.


    At least 43 people are believed to have been infected in North Kivu province, including 36 who have died, Congo’s health ministry said on Tuesday. Sixteen of the cases were confirmed to be Ebola.


    While Congo has experienced the most outbreaks of the Ebola virus, this is the first time it has cropped up in this part of the country. Lab tests have confirmed it is the same strain as the previous outbreak, which started in early May, but there is no indication the outbreaks are related.

    Now a doctor has contracted the disease- and he has treated hundreds. A major chance of spreading Ebola.

    A doctor has become the first probable Ebola case in one of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo’s most violence-ridden and inaccessible zones, a scenario “we have all been dreading”, the World Health Organization said on Friday.Since the outbreak erupted on Aug. 1, 103 confirmed and probable cases of Ebola have been identified in North Kivu and Ituri provinces, including 63 deaths, Congo’s health ministry said in an overnight update.


    A doctor living in the town of Oicha in North Kivu has been re-hospitalised with Ebola symptoms after his wife was confirmed as having the disease when she traveled to the nearby city of Beni, said Dr. Peter Salama, WHO’s head of emergency operations.


    Oicha is almost entirely surrounded by ADF Ugandan Islamist militia, and there are “extremely serious security concerns” following many civilian killings, he said. Aid workers, priests and government officials are held hostage in the area, he added.




    More than 100 armed groups operate in all of volatile eastern Congo, including dozens in North Kivu.


    The doctor’s initial test for Ebola - which causes vomiting, hemorrhagic fever and diarrhea - had been negative but fresh results are awaited after retesting, Salama told Reuters. The doctor is among 14 confirmed or probable cases among health workers.


    So far 97 of the couple’s contacts who may have been exposed to the virus have been identified, and vaccination has begun in Oicha, according to Salama.


    “So for the first time really we have a confirmed case and contacts in an area of very high insecurity. It really was the problem we were anticipating and the problem at same time that we were dreading,” he told a news briefing.

    Ebola outbreak in Congo spreads to new city

    This is the 14th confirmed outbreak of the deadly virus since 1976. Who know how long it was around prior, remaining in remote regions of Africa. Now at least two major cities have cases - that means access to airports and air travel.

    At least the new vaccine seems to be working.

    The most recent outbreak of the Ebola virus began in July in North Kivu Province, home to about 8 million residents and about a million internally displaced refugees. So far, health officials have identified 129 probable and confirmed cases. Eighty-nine people have died.


    Most of those cases have been in the Mabalako health district, where the first cases were reported in late July after a funeral for a woman in the town of Mangina. Several relatives who attended the funeral, who probably washed and dressed the woman’s body to prepare her for the afterlife, later came down with symptoms.



    Several probable and confirmed cases have been identified in neighboring Ituri Province, north of North Kivu.



    Public health officials had already been worried about the spread of the virus once it reached Beni, a city of about a quarter million residents that also has close trade ties to Uganda. Now that it has reached Butembo, those officials said, their fears have grown.



    “Good news is case detected quickly, response already in place & expanding,” Peter Salama, the World Health Organization’s deputy director-general for Emergency Preparedness and Response, wrote on Twitter. “Bad new[s] is increases risk of further spread, and having Ebola in an urban centre makes ending the outbreak much harder.”



    In the weeks after the outbreak began, global public health officials and nongovernmental organizations have raced hundreds of epidemiologists and technicians and millions of dollars in relief aid to the region. Those officials had identified at least 4,300 people who had come into contact with someone infected with the Ebola virus, and more than half of those people remain under watch in case they develop symptoms.

    No wonder Moses' law could never save the Avaris City, because it became the criminal capital of the Ebola virus spread by microorganisms too small to see with the simplistic, simple, mentality, metal, that Avaris' leper colony spread abroad because monkeys are used in laboratories, schools, colleges, animals tested upon.

    The whole school system should be shut down and pay parents enough of a wage to school their own children, inside their own communities where they feel safer, than to continue to send their children to places where 10 laws of God are not allowed to be displayed at the foot of the schools where the devils unleashed upon.

    This is why I don't ride a city bus. Maybe if we sent some Government Cheese over there it would stop the virus.

    Admiral Ackbar, the virus 'stop wood' makes lively. The government should get out of the tender beef U.S.D.A.Y. industry that believes that animals are of "those expendables".
