See how the current
#Ebola outbreak compares to past outbreaks and where it has spread http://tdy.sg/1w4FPBs
TODAY More than 4,000 people have died from Ebola out of over 8,300 cases in seven countries. With the transmission of Ebola in Spain and the United States in recent days, there are heightened fears that the virus could spread to other parts of the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) yesterday called Ebola ‘the most severe, acute health emergency seen in modern times’.

Additional screening measures against #Ebola at Changi Airport from noon tomorrow http://tdy.sg/1yxXPqf
The Ministry of Health (MOH) announced the measures today, saying that it has been closely watching the Ebola situation, including developments in Spain and the United States. “These show that an imported case and the potential for community exposure from imported cases cannot be ruled out,” said the MOH.
As part of the additional measures, travellers from countries with reported Ebola Virus Disease activity — currently Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Senegal and Democratic Republic of Congo — will be directed to a screening station, where they will be screened for temperature and exposure to Ebola through a questionnaire.
They will also have to fill in the Health Declaration Card, which will include their contact details in Singapore.

Six people have been arrested in the killings of eight people in Guinea who had been on an Ebola awareness campaign there, the Guinean government said Friday.
The team, accompanied by journalists, had gone to the village of Womey on Tuesday. Another team dispatched to look for nine missing members discovered eight bodies, including those of three local journalists, a hospital administrator and several health officials, the government said.
Only one of the missing, the son of a Womey deputy administrative leader, was found alive, hiding in the area, the government statement said.
In Sierra Leone, thousands of health workers began knocking on doors across the country on Friday in search of hidden Ebola cases as the entire West African nation was locked down in their homes in an unprecedented effort to combat the deadly disease.
Authorities hope to find and isolate Ebola patients who have resisted going to health centers, often seen only as places to die. Some international health experts have warned that such a strategy could backfire especially if there are not enough beds at treatment centers for all the new patients found during the three-day lockdown which began Friday.
UNICEF said the measure provides an opportunity to tell people how to protect themselves.

Death toll in West Africa
#Ebola epidemic reaches 2,622: WHO http://tdy.sg/1qNLA5E pic.twitter.com/HPHdrM3l1R
LONDON – At least 2,622 people have died in the worst outbreak of Ebola virus in history, which has so far infected at least 5,335 people in West Africa, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday.
In an update on the epidemic, which is raging through Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia and has spread into Nigeria and Senegal, the WHO said there were no signs yet of it slowing.
“The upward epidemic trend continues in the three countries that have widespread and intense transmission – Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone,” the United Nations health agency said.

Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is the human disease caused by the Ebola virus.
Symptoms typically start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pains, and headaches.
Typically nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea follow, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. At this point, some people begin to have bleeding problems
The virus may be acquired upon contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal (commonly monkeys or fruit bats). Fruit bats are believed to carry and spread the virus without being affected.

KUALA LUMPUR: A report being circulated in social websites, including Facebook, that an Ebola case has been detected in the country is false.
Confirming this late Tuesday, Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah censured those spreading such rumours as irresponsible, saying there had been no quarantine cases related to the disease.
“The risk of Ebola into Malaysia is very low. Don’t spread news that is false,” he said through Twitter.

Eight Chinese quarantined as panic grips Ebola-hit west Africa
FREETOWN: Eight Chinese medical workers have been placed in quarantine in Sierra Leone, as health experts grappled Monday with ethical questions over the use of experimental drugs to combat the killer Ebola virus.
…
The disease has hit doctors hard in the ill-equipped and fragile health systems of the worst-hit west African nations, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Chinese ambassador to Sierra Leone Zhao Yanbo told journalists seven doctors and one nurse who treated Ebola patients had been placed under quarantine, but would not be drawn on whether they were displaying symptoms of the disease.
In addition 24 Sierra Leonean nurses, most from the military hospital in the capital, have also been placed under quarantine, according to figures from Yanbo and hospital director Dr Sahr Foday.
Foday said a senior physician at Freetown’s Connaught Hospital had contracted Ebola and was responding well to treatment.
The nation’s sole virologist, who was at the forefront of its battle against the epidemic, died from Ebola last month.

Uganda is investigating the possibility that one of its citizens has the Ebola virus that has been sweeping through West Africa. A Uganda health ministry spokesperson said, “There is a suspected case, samples have been taken from the suspect, and we are analyzing them.” Uganda’s finding marks the first time a patient with Ebola-like symptoms has been tested in East Africa since 2012. Uganda’s Daily Monitor newspaper said airport officials stopped the individual as he was showing symptoms of the virus. The unidentified man had reportedly been employed in South Sudan, where no documented cases of Ebola have surfaced as of yet.
… Kenya has ramped up the intensity of inspections on incoming flights from countries where the virus is most prevalent – Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. “I confirm to all Kenyans that no case of Ebola has been detected in the country, and we shall continue to be vigilant to ensure this state is maintained,” said the spokesperson.

Canada quarantines patient with Ebola-like symptoms
9 August 2014 @ 8:39 AM
MONTREAL: A Canadian hospital put a patient in isolation Friday after he arrived in the country from Nigeria with symptoms of fever and flu – possible signs he is infected with Ebola – local media said.
Nigeria is one of several countries in West Africa that has had confirmed cases of Ebola, in the world’s largest ever outbreak of the deadly hemorrhagic fever that has seen nearly 1,000 deaths and more than 1,700 people infected since the beginning of the year.
A doctor at the Brampton, Ontario hospital, near Toronto, said the patient had a fever and other symptoms similar to those seen in Ebola cases, the news channel CP24 said.

WHO declares Ebola epidemic an international health emergency
LONDON – West Africa’s Ebola epidemic is an “extraordinary event” and now constitutes an international health risk, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Friday.
The Geneva-based U.N. health agency said the possible consequences of a further international spread of the outbreak, which has killed almost 1,000 people in four West African countries, were “particularly serious” in view of the virulence of the virus.
“A coordinated international response is deemed essential to stop and reverse the international spread of Ebola,” the WHO said in a statement after a two-day meeting of its emergency committee on Ebola. The declaration of an international emergency will have the effect of raising the level of vigilance for transmission of the virus.
The agency added that while all states with Ebola transmission – so far Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone – should declare a national emergency, there should be no general ban on international travel or trade.

Liberian horrors: Ebola victims bodies dumped in the street, wells poisoned to kill off popul… http://wp.me/p1eYXc-9Yb via @wordpressdotcom
August 2014 – AFRICA – Relatives of Ebola victims in Liberia defied government orders and dumped infected bodies in the streets as West African governments struggled to enforce tough measures to curb an outbreak of the virus that has killed 887 people.
…
In Liberia’s ramshackle ocean-front capital Monrovia, still scarred by a 1989-2003 civil war, relatives of Ebola victims were dragging bodies onto the dirt streets rather than face quarantine, officials said. Information Minister Lewis Brown said some people may be alarmed by regulations imposing the decontamination of victims’ homes and the tracking of their friends and relatives. With less than half of those infected surviving the disease, many Africans regard Ebola isolation wards as death traps.
“They are therefore removing the bodies from their homes and are putting them out in the street. They’re exposing themselves to the risk of being contaminated,” Brown told Reuters. “We’re asking people to please leave the bodies in their homes and we’ll pick them up.” Brown said authorities had begun cremating bodies on Sunday, after local communities opposed burials in their neighborhoods, and had carried out 12 cremations on Monday. Meanwhile, in the border region of Lofa County, troops were deployed on Monday night to start isolating effected communities there.

Wells poisoned in Liberia: Armed men have allegedly poisoned wells and other water bodies in Liberia’s New Georgia in order to kill the residents under the pretext of Ebola outbreak. The water from the wells and pumps has been used by thousands of people in the area. At least 16 people are suspected to be dead because of well-poisoning in the Margibi community. It is still unclear what the exact motive of the culprits was. Witnesses have reported sighting armed men introducing suspected poisonous substances using syringes. The villagers reported the incident to the police and investigators are said to be looking into the matter. “Nobody is having exact information as to the diagnosis and everybody is confused. So the [well poisoning] incident that happened yesterday at the [New Georgia] junction is a wakeup call on the government, especially the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOH&SW), to test the water in every well,” Buston Kolliegbo, a resident, told the Daily Observer. The incident has reportedly caused panic in the region and fears over Ebola outbreak have compounded their woes. –IB Times

25 Critical Facts About This Ebola Outbreak That Every American Needs To Know http://www.infowars.com/25-critical-facts-about-this-ebola-outbreak-that-every-american-needs-to-know/
What would a global pandemic look like for a disease that has no cure and that kills more than half of the people that it infects?
Let’s hope that we don’t get to find out, but what we do know is that more than 100 health workers that were on the front lines of fighting this disease have ended up getting it themselves.
The top health officials in the entire world are sounding the alarm and the phrase “out of control” is constantly being thrown around by professionals with decades of experience. So should average Americans be concerned about Ebola? If so, how bad could an Ebola outbreak in the U.S. potentially become?
The following are 25 critical facts about this Ebola outbreak that every American needs to know…
#1 As the chart below demonstrates, the spread of Ebola is starting to become exponential…
#2 This is already the worst Ebola outbreak in recorded history by far.
#4 The head of Doctors Without Borders says that this outbreak is “out of control“.
#6 There is no cure for Ebola.
#7 The death rate for this current Ebola outbreak is over 50 percent, and experts say that it can kill “up to 90% of those infected“.
#8 The incubation rate for Ebola ranges from two days to 21 days. Therefore, someone can be carrying it around for up to three weeks without even knowing it.
#9 For the first time ever, human Ebola patients are being brought to the United States. And as Paul Craig Roberts so aptly put it the other day, all it would take is “one cough, one sneeze, one drop of saliva, and the virus is loose“.
#18 The federal government will begin testing an “experimental Ebola vaccine” on humans in September.
#24 The CDC has just put up a brand new webpage entitled “Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Hospitalized Patients with Known or Suspected Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever in U.S. Hospitals“.
#25 The World Health Organization has launched a 100 million dollar response plan to fight this Ebola outbreak. Others don’t seem so alarmed. For example, Barack Obama is getting ready to take a “16 day Martha’s Vineyard vacation“.

The Phillipines has reported the country’s first suspected cases of the Ebola virus. According to the country’s health officials, seven workers who returned to the Phillipines from Sierra Leone are showing symptoms symilar to that of the tropical virus.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Morris Dukuly, has disclosed that a Liberian has died of the deadly Ebola virus in Morocco.
A man who landed at Guarulhos airport in São Paulo, in the morning, was taken to hospital Emilio Ribas, capital of the Central Region and is hospitalized in an isolated area. The African, whose name was not revealed, undergoes tests that may reveal contamination Ebola.

Ebola risk unheeded as Guinea’s villagers keep on eating fruit bats
Medical teams struggling to curb Ebola in west Africa have been discouraging bush meat consumption, believed to have caused the outbreak, but some rural communities dependent on the meat for protein are determined to continue their traditional hunting practices.
While meat from wild animals such as fruit bats, rodents and forest antelopes has largely disappeared from market stalls in main towns such as Guéckédou in southern Guinea – the epicentre of the disease, and the capital Conakry following campaigns to avoid contamination, it is still being eaten in remote villages despite the risks.
“Life is not easy here in the village. They [authorities and aid groups] want to ban our traditions that we have observed for generations. Animal husbandry is not widespread here because bush meat is easily available. Banning bush meat means a new way of life, which is unrealistic,” said Sâa Fela Léno, who lives in Nongoha village in Guéckédou.

The Ebola outbreak currently spreading death and terror throughout West Africa was feared to have hit the U.K. Saturday, after a flight coming from Sierra Leone carried a woman who was stricken with a violent illness on the plane, vomiting and sweating profusely, and then collapsed soon after landing at London’s Gatwick Airport.
The woman later died at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, Surrey, south of London.
Victim Tested For Ebola, But Tests Prove Negative
On Sunday, doctors at the hospital later conducted a test on the deceased woman to see if she had died of Ebola — but the test proved negative. The Ebola outbreak scare in London was deemed a false alarm.
