Breaking news
The death toll from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has passed 3,000, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.

The latest figures indicate that more than 6,000 people are believed to have been infected in the region.

Liberia is the worst affected country, having recorded around 1,800 deaths linked to the latest outbreak, Reuters reports.

The outbreak is the world's most deadly - US President Barack Obama has called it a "threat to global security".

I WAS READING AN ARTICLE IN NEW SCIENTIST THAT IF LEFT UNCHECKED,THE EPIDEMIC COULD COST WEST AFRICA ABOUT 3BILLION IN ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL COSTS.
BUSINESS COULD POTENTIALLY GRIND TO A HALT.
CROPS ARE BEING ABANDONED,NO PLANTING IS TAKING PLACE.
HEALTH MINISTER OF LIBERIA HAS PLACED HERSELF UNDER QUARANTINE AFTER ONE OF HER WORKERS DIED FROM EBOLA.
NIGERIA HAS MANY OUTWARD AR ROUTES WHERE EBOLA COULD TRAVEL TO,POTENTIALLY CAUSING ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL DAMAGE.

I wouldn't be surprised Badboy , many workers have been sacked because Ebola has affected their village . The Chief Medical officer in Liberia has quaranteed herself because a colleague has been infected.

FAKE REPORTS THAT EBOLA VACCINE ONLY WORKS ON THOSE WITH WHITE SKINS ARE CIRCULATING ON INTERNET.
SPECULATING IS THAT TERRORISTS WILL USE EBOLA AS A WEAPON.

I don't see how they can do that Badboy, they would surely be infected themselves.I think Liberia has cured a couple of locals . At the rate Ebola has infected so many the WHO says the situation will get worse and the "helpers" working with the Doctors are vulnerable.

CDC SAYS 1.5 MILLION CASES IS POSSIBLE BY JANUARY.

The problem is Badboy that by the time a victim  tries to get help the virus has infected others. The U.S. have military building Hospitals , new Medical recruits from Cuba to help but they can't stem the tide and produce enough Zmapps at the moment. The economy of the Countries affected h nearly ground to a halt.

OH MY,HOPE EBOLA DOESN'T SPREAD ALL OVER THE PLACE OR THERE COULD BE PROBLEMS.
I READ THAT ON AVERAGE,115 NEW CASES OF EBOLA ARE DIAGNOSED EVERY DAY.

This is the latest News and since he wasn't sick for 4 days there is a possibility that others have been infected. However, the U.S. is on the case and I am sure they will be doing all that is necessary to contain any spread.

HE MAY HAVE TRAVELLED VIA HEATHROW.
IN SIERRA LEONE,15 CASS OF EBOLA ARE DIAGNOSED A DAY.

Yes Badboy, there is a conference in London today and an appeal for donations to have more equipment and Hospitals to deal with the crisis.
There is criticism of the lack of investigation into the disease after the last outbreak. Sceptics say it was because the epidemic was in  poor Countries who couldn't have afforded to pay for the treatment.

IN ONE HOSPITAL,IT IS REPORTED BY THE GUARDIAN THAT THERE ARE ONLY 30 BEDS,FIRST-COME FIRST SERVE,THERE ARE HAVING TO TURN AWAY PEOPLE WHO  RETURN TO THEIR COMMINITIES INFECTING PEOPLE.
SOUNDS LIKE MORE BEDS NEEDED FOR EBOLA CASES.

I have just watched a very moving account by William Pooley a British Nurse talking about his experience on trying to treat Ebola.
He said he was treating a Brother and Sister 4 and 7 yrs young and was visibly moved recounting their symptoms before they both died.
There are concerns that if Ebola is not checked now there will be over a million cases by next year.

MSF rejects Ebola cash and asks for medics

IN ONE TOWN,THEY WERE CELEBRATING EBOLA EPIDEMIC WAS OVER,ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WASN'T
