Wish ProMed were faster with their postings, but they prefer to verify before posting...lol.

There's a banner headline scrolling across the bottom of CNN's tv picture claiming that 25+ patients have now died of Ebola in Gabon. I went to their website & found nothing yet posted in writing BUT, it seems a femals patient with Ebola has 'disappeared'. It's feared she crossed into the neighbouring country of the Rebublic of Congo, (not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo... formerly Zaire), to join relatives. HOpe that's not the case & if so, hope she didn;t get far. If she does indeed have Ebola, it's unlikely she made it too far. Her's the story:

Still no word on wether the hemmorhagic fever cases in Congo DR are Ebla or not. Last thing anybody wants to see is a THREE nation outbreak, no matter how small...
