It is a deadly virus with initial symptoms which can include a sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain and a sore throat.Subsequent stages can include vomiting, diarrhoea and in some cases both internal and external bleeding, known as haemorrhaging. Ebola spreads between humans by direct contact with bodily fluids and contaminated environments. Funerals can be a particular risk if mourners have direct contact with the body. An outbreak of Ebola in Uganda is proving more difficult to deal with than more recent epidemics, but the president has rejected calls for a lockdown. Do you think that the WHO need to step in and help ?
