Ebola’s Back!

Move over Avian Flu, Ebola’s back. For those of you believe the world is coming to its end, you can celebrate its return. Ebola has resurfaced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This is probably one of the worst diseases one can get. It has a mortality rate of 50-90%. Cultural traditions have played a role in its spread. In Central Africa mourners often come into direct contact with the body during burial, often infecting themselves. Story from the UN News Centre.
