60 days to stop Ebola

World health chiefs have called it the most serious outbreak since Aids, with almost 4,000 people now dead. What are the latest efforts to help stop the Ebola outbreak?

Ebola challenge 'biggest since Aids'

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is unlike anything since the emergence of HIV/Aids, top US medical official Thomas Frieden has said.

A fast global response could ensure that it did not become "the next Aids," the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.

We're all dieing. You were right Timmy.

get out of the basement, Seedy, you look pale.

From that graphic, I noticed that apparently Europe/China/Latin America/Russia (rest of the world...) should be stepping it up as the US apparently doesn't got this one.

Bet you this kills more Americans than Benghazi.

So the dude in Dallas died. This disease has a 100 per cent fatality rate in North America.

1/1*100= 100

It started in Africa. He's African.
