Congo confirms first death in latest Ebola outbreak | Reuters
Reuters reports: "The Democratic Republic of Congo announced on Thursday the first confirmed death in a new outbreak of Ebola virus and said 11 other people were now confirmed to be infected, including three medical staff. At least 17 people have died since inhabitants of a village in the country’s northwest began showing symptoms resembling Ebola in December, according to the World Health Organization. [...] Ebola is most feared for the internal and external bleeding it can cause in its victims owing to damage done to blood vessels."

Comment: Just when we thought Iran had taken over this space Ebola makes a comeback. Not that this is a good thing, or anything.
