Seven weeks after being declared Ebola-free, Liberia has found a second case of the deadly disease, sparking fears that the country could find itself back in the middle of an epidemic if precautions are not put in place.
The first Ebola case since the country declared an all-clear was discovered on Sunday in a 17-year old boy in the village of Nedowein. The boy had been thought to have malaria and had come in contact with several people. The virus that causes the disease was only discovered after he died.
The latest case has been discovered in the same village, in a person who had come into contact with the first victim. Liberian authorities and the World Health Organization (WHO) will have to hope they can keep the disease contained in the small community.
The new case comes in the same week over 100 Liberian health workers staged a protest at Liberia’s Ministry of Health in the capital city of Monrovia. They are demanding hazard pay that they said they haven’t received since the country was declared Ebola-free by WHO on May 9.
Liberia was the worst hit of the three West African countries affected by the disease since last year. The other two neighboring countries, Sierra Leone and Guinea, have never declared total victory over the disease, though both countries have gotten the epidemic under control. However, Sierra Leone has confirmed new cases in the last month.
More than 4,800 people died of Ebola in Liberia. Overall, more than 11,000 have died from the disease since December 2013.

There are now 3 victims & at least 200 people have had contact.

a) Kudos to the magnificent efforts of all including logistics & healthcare workers for their bravery in stomping out outbreak #1.

b) Regarding outbreak #2:
Our solar-system is already overcrowded.
There are already over 7 billion humans infesting Earth alone, with a few more in outer-space.

We make too many demands on resources:
- water desperately scarce in California
- famine common in North Korea and Africa
- atmospheric carbon reaching potentially lethal levels
- etc.

A nice healthy plague that would kill off about 2/3 of Earth's human population might help us along a little bit.
- what little petroleum is left would last three times as long
- real estate prices would moderate, as market demand would be diminished
- food could be more abundant, famine reduced
- etc.
Therefore: Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

LT,
The New World Order is always going on about over population, so you may want to rethink or tone that down.
