Ebola in Uganda...again


The Ugandan Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization confirmed yesterday that another epidemic of Ebola virus has broken out in western Uganda.  This time the virus has emerged in Kibaale District just south of Fort Portal (separated from Bundibugyo District by the Rwenzori mountain range).

According to news reports,
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jul/29/uganda-ebola-outbreak-confirmed?newsfeed=true
there have been 20 cases and 14 deaths...a 70% mortality rate.

Pray that this would be brought under control...
