WHO warns of 'perfect storm' in Congo Ebola outbreak
UPI reports: "The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo could become
worse due to a 'perfect storm' of challenges that are allowing the
disease to spread, a World Health Organization official warned.
A WHO health chief said ongoing violent disputes between armed groups,
community resistance to public health officials advice and spread of the
disease in broader area are making the Ebola crisis worse [...] Ebola
is spread through infected blood and bodily fluids with symptoms
including unexplained bleeding or bruising, vomiting, muscle pain, and
severe headaches, according to the CDC."
Comment: The words "perfect storm" are not what you hope to hear from medical professionals about a disease outbreak.
