Live healthy and long

Repost from ABC Health News  July 26, 2014

Years back, there was a movie entitled "Outbreak" featuring Al Pacino.  The disease was Ebola.  Ebola is a deadly disease:  viral  Cat 3: deadly and   no known cure.  (Just like dengue)  The outbreak was in USA and they did not come from Rhesus monkey which was the usual route in Africa.  The disease spread by air.  And now this has come true. The disease has probably mutated and has spread from Guinea, where it originally started to West Africa to Nigeria, via air.

Is this another threat facing the world in addition to MERS in Saudi, bird flu in China?

What further precautions must we take?

Are you not afraid?  Do you want to go to Africa
