Scary to think that Ebola is another very nasty sickness that we have no cure for...
The World Health Organization Friday confirmed the Ebola virus had killed three people in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo and said more deaths were being investigated. "WHO is aware of 36 additional suspected cases including 12 deaths associated with this outbreak. A further 184 contacts have been identified and are being followed up," WHO said in a statement. The virus, which is highly contagious via bodily fluids and causes severe vomiting, diarrhea and often internal and external bleeding, was first reported in the area on November 27. There is no cure for Ebola, which kills 50 to 90 percent of its victims.
