The Ebola outbreak in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Equatorial Guinea is worsening with 888 people afflicted and, at least 539 dead. Strain of Ebola is the most deadly Zaire strain that is ~ 90% fatal. One of the worst most painful ways to die, the spleen and intestines liquifying [liquifaction necrosis] and excreted. Highly contagious [sweat, blood, aerosol]. Initial cause, eating bush meat [fruit bats and non-human primates] and deforestation. Difficulty in getting this epidemic under control, fear and illiteracy. May spread to most of Wast Africa and beyond because of porous borders.
