Ebola Outbreak In Africa Spreads To New Country

Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

The outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa is growing into more of a concern for world leaders.

Mali reported their first possible cases of Ebola since the beginning of an outbreak in neighboring Guinea.  Government officials have isolated three people in Mali as they await confirmation testing from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.

Guinea reported their 90th death from the outbreak leading Doctors Without Borders to say this could become an unprecedented epidemic in a region that has extremely poor health care systems.

The outbreak has reached a point that foreign mining companies in Guinea have closed their operations and pulled their employees to their home nations.  French officials say they are preparing screening at the airports for travels from the former French colonies.

In addition to Guinea, confirmed cases have been found in Sierra Leone and Liberia.  Liberia confirmed three new deaths in the last 24 hours bringing their total to four.

DWB officials are concerned with the dense living conditions in cities where the virus has been found because it will be hard to stop the virus should it break out in a crowded living area.
