The fight against Ebola in Africa Continues- Yahoo/AFP

My Comment:
I've been following this story since the beginning. Ebola is a disease that is particularity nasty and is one of the things that scares me. If the virus were to mutate so it spread person to person instead of by contact with bodily fluids. Fortunately that hasn't happened yet and there are no indications that it will. However the doctors in the countries currently effected by this outbreak are understaffed and face severe logistical and cultural road blocks. So far 467 people have died. Hopefully it will burn itself out soon.
