A bad day for Ebola. Possible cases are being tested in the US, Myanmar and Vietnam. At ground zero, the Democratic Republic of Congo is suffering from something looking rather suspicious:
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 Equateur resident who asked not to be named said that around ten people had died, including four health care workers, after suffering from fever, diarrhoea and bleeding from the ears and nostrils – all symptoms of the deadly Ebola virus.
