      Ebola is out of control and threatens 3 countries and immediately 15 others. 
  • Professor Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said it would not have been difficult to contain the outbreak if those on the ground and the UN had acted promptly earlier this year. “Something that is easy to control got completely out of hand,” said Piot, who was part of a team that identified the causes of the first outbreak of Ebola in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, in 1976 and helped bring it to an end.

Top 10 British artists in America right now | TheCelebrityCafe.com - 0 views

  • Home Cafepedia Celebrities Movies News Sports TV News Music Gossip Hollywood Relationship Features News Sports TV News Movies Music Hollywood Gossip Relationships Special
  • It’s hard to say when we as a country started to become obsessed with British artists, but it is certainly true that we have. You almost can’t listen to the radio nowadays without hearing at least one British artist, if not more. Boy bands like One Direction and The Wanted have pretty much taken over, making teenage girls go crazy and selling out concerts like it’s nothing. Solo acts such as Ed Sheeran and Cher Lloyd have been gaining popularity as well, performing on countless television and award shows. You can’t forget the more seasoned artists like Adele and Jessie J, who have proven that some of the best voices come from across the pond. Breaking America has been seen as a big accomplishment for British artists in the past, but with our willingness to accept them nowadays, it is not quite as hard as it used to be! Of course, it is still an admirable accomplishment and I am sure that the British craze will not die down anytime soon. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular British artists of the moment.

Ebola virus disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • The spread of Ebola between people occurs only by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person after symptoms have developed.[1][3] Body fluids that may contain ebolaviruses include saliva, mucus, vomit, feces, sweat, tears, breast milk, urine, and semen.[23] Entry points include the nose, mouth, eyes, or open wounds, cuts and abrasions.[23] Contact with objects contaminated by the virus, particularly needles and syringes may also transmit the infection.[24] The virus is able to survive on objects for a few hours in a dried state and can survive for a few days within body fluids.[23] Ebola virus may be able to persist in the semen of survivors for up to seven weeks after recovery, which could give rise to infections via sexual intercourse.[1] Otherwise, people who have recovered are not infectious.[24] The potential for widespread infections in countries with medical systems capable of observing correct medical isolation procedures is considered low.[25] Usually when someone has symptoms, they are sufficiently unwell that they are unable to travel without assistance.[26]

  • Ebola, previously known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a rare and deadly disease caused by infection with one of the Ebola virus strains. Ebola can cause disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees).
  • Ebola, previously known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a rare and deadly disease caused by infection with one of the Ebola virus strains. Ebola can cause disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees).Ebola is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. There are five identified Ebola virus species, four of which are known to cause disease in humans: Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus); Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus); Taï Forest virus (Taï Forest ebolavirus, formerly Côte d’Ivoire ebolavirus); and Bundibugyo virus (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). The fifth, Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus), has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans.Ebola viruses are found in several African countries. Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically in Africa.The natural reservoir host of Ebola virus remains unknown. However, on the basis of evidence and the nature of similar viruses, researchers believe that the virus is animal-borne and that bats are the most likely reservoir. Four of the five virus strains occur in an animal host native to Africa.

  • In the worst-case scenario, the two countries could have a total of 21,000 cases of Ebola by Sept. 30 and 1.4 million cases by Jan. 20 if the disease keeps spreading without effective methods to contain it. These figures take into account the fact that many cases go undetected, and estimate that there are actually 2.5 times as many as reported.
