Update on Ebola Outbreak in Uganda

Here is an update from the WHO on the Ebola outbreak in Uganda; as of November 23rd there have been 10 cases with 5 deaths in Luweero and Kampala. What is worrisome about this outbreak is that the disease made it as far as the capitol city. Although this current outbreak appears to be contained, this is a good reminder that a disease that emerges in a remote jungle today can spread to anywhere in the world in a very short period of time.
