The spread of the world's fastest moving Ebola outbreak continues, with reports it has now reached the capital of Nigeria (with a patent only admitted to hospital four days after showing symptoms one can only speculate how many people she was in contact with).
This outbreak of a new strain of Ebola seems to be accelerating & widening, and at present (partly due to aid cuts) the work to contain the outbreak looks uneven at best.
