Ebola vaccine may be close.

Update: Sick patient with Ebola like symptoms will not be tested for Ebola since he did not have contact with Ebola patients when he was in West Africa.

Important to note that no one who was infected with Ebola in the US has died. It appears that early treatment has been very successful within the U.S.

Woman being monitored for Ebola in New York drops dead in beauty salon. Remains test negative for Ebola. I'm sure her hairdresser knew she was being monitored for Ebola.

Is this a good example of Darwin at work?

Bandits steal suspected ebola blood samples.

You raise a good point, but the article described the area of the theft as a road frequented by bandits and thugs. Sounds like vermin to me.

And yet the Ebola courier went there. Where better to set up an ambush?
Look, I have no idea if this was stupidy Or a planned attack. But I wouldn't rule either out.

I hope they get over it soon and didn't spread it. I wonder if this will renew the call to quarantine all the healthcare workers when they leave the area?
