Ebola Outbreak
Nasty goings on.
Aid organisation Doctors Without Borders says an Ebola outbreak suspected of killing at least 78 people in Guinea is an "unprecedented epidemic" that has spread across the west African nation.Not long ago, Ebola outbreaks garnered considerable media attention along with books and movies. Not so much today.
"We are facing an epidemic of a magnitude never before seen in terms of the distribution of cases in the country: Gueckedou, Macenta, Kissidougou, Nzerekore, and now Conakry," Mariano Lugli, the organisation's co-ordinator in the Guinean capital, said in a statement on Monday.
