"The outbreak of Ebola virus disease in west Africa continues to evolve in alarming ways, with no immediate end in sight," is the ominous warning this morning from the World Health Organization. The WHO statement confirmed that a stunning 170 health-care workers (the ones covered from head to toe in protective garments) have been infected with Ebola and at least 81 have died. "Treatment facilities are oveflowing," they note as they prepare to hold an emergency meeting today on experimental therapies. But apart from that, as Western media says, it is contained and does not pose a risk to Americans...
Excerpted from WHO Statement:
The outbreak of Ebola virus disease in west Africa continues to evolve in alarming ways, with no immediate end in sight. Many barriers stand in the way of rapid containment.
The most severely affected countries, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, have only recently returned to political stability following years of civil war and conflict, which left health systems largely destroyed or severely disabled.

Bush would put boots on the ground in a heartbeat to fight this invisible enemy.He would have said "Bring the ebola on"!!
Reminds me of the Stephen King story The Stand. The reaper is coming!
It seems like the Health Care workers would have sought TRAINING prior to volunteering to help?
How can 170 Health Care workers become infected?
Are they completely in the dark about the disease?
Something is not right about this story.
how cares, Bring it I see no good outcome of the future with liberals in charge and idiots teaching our kids.
Obama says the outbreak is contained. Just like he said "the borders are secure".
Leave every person who is infected in Africa. Regardless of nationality.
I tend to agree with you 11:51AM.
If this virus is able to evade the bio-suits these health workers were wearing then it is already a BIG problem here. And, seems to be unlike any other virus we've seen globally. I don't know about you but, I don't feel very secure with the Obama bringing known cases here to the US.
I also find it very interesting/suspicious how, (if you'll recall) the spread of this disease is somewhat similar to when AIDS first came out.
In the end they learned it could be spread much easier then they first claimed.
In this case they again mention bodily fluids but when you are wearing the outfits these doctors had been wearing yet still contracted the disease it made no sense.
We are being LIED to and quite frankly I am sick and tired of POLITICIANS LYING to us any more and we should NOT stand for ANY more lies on ANY issue.
You LIE, you get FIRED immediately.
what does Pete Townshend know that we don't ? the man is brilliant
