Lots of bad reporting and misinformation on this latest Ebola outbreak in Africa. From
CNN today:
Teams in Uganda are trying to track down anyone who came into contact with patients infected with the Ebola virus, which has killed at least 14 people there this month, authorities said Monday.
The Ebola virus is a highly infectious, often fatal agent spread through direct contact with bodily fluids. Symptoms can include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, a measles-like rash, red eyes and, at times, bleeding from body openings.
Highly infectious?
Or from the Ugandan President in this
BBC report:
Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has urged people to avoid physical contact, after the deadly Ebola virus claimed one life in the capital, Kampala.
People should avoid shaking hands, kissing or having sex to prevent the disease from spreading, he added.
