Ebola in Congo: Over 5000 dead

93

In the Democratic Republic of Congo is a bad Ebola sickness. More than 5000 people are already dead. Over 10000 people have the virus.

The germ is the Bundibugyo virus. This virus is very bad. There is no medicine for it yet. A special therapy is also missing.

The virus moves very fast. It is now in other lands too. Cases are in Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria. Even in Europe is one case.

The sickness is hard to see. At first it looks like malaria. Ebola moves by body fluid. Sick people have fever and bleeding.
