A new Ebola epidemic has been declared in the Democratic Republic of Congo after the deaths of three people thought to be linked to the virus.

The country’s health ministry confirmed one person has tested positive for the virus.

The World Health Organisation confirmed that the DR Congo had informed them of a lab-confirmed case of the disease

" On 11 May 2017, the Min of Health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo notified WHO & partners of a lab-confirmed case of #Ebola#DRC

— WHO (@WHO) May 12, 2017 "

The case was confirmed from tests on nine people who came down with a hemorrhagic fever in Bas-Uele province in the northeast of the country on or after April 22, the statement said.

Don’t worry. They’ll soon be loading up the planes to bring them all here for treatment.

Thankfully, Obola won’t be able to bring them to the US.

Eventually this will spread widely in the West. I hope that will not happen for a while, but we need to be ready.

Lots of people in Africa can help out with this... we DO NOT need to send an army to get infected helping people who damn well can help themselves. They know how to fight endless wars - they damn sure can fight ebola.
