Ebola Update

The Ebola crisis has been getting worse in Africa. It appears to have spread to another African country, Congo, with two known cases so far. There is also a quarantine line around the Liberian capitol, trapping 70,000 people inside. This was imposed after a treatment center was looted. The facility as found destroyed with all patients missing. The patients have all been safely found but it is not clear if they infected other civilians or not. The number of cases so far has now reached 2,200 and the death count is now 1,229. There are only 1 or 2 doctors per thousands of people, making the situation very difficult and unsafe. Both U.S. doctors have been released and now show no signs of the disease. It is unclear whether the experimental drug will be released to the people of these African nations yet.
