Testing biological weapons on Ugandan Guinea pigs: Deadly Ebola virus breaks out in Luweero(Uganda)
Thousands of people have died in the Northern Uganda war Against Joseph Kony amidst the aloofness of the US, Britain,etc. Now, with the Ebola outbreak, every body seems to be so concerned. Definitely they are testing their biological weapon on Uganda guinea pigs. This might be intended to distract attention from the walk to walk campaign and particularly the dictatorial tendencies that have clearly manifested in the dictator(Yoweri Museveni) they have nurtured and entrenched for decades. Every one should familiarize oneself with the information below.

Deadly Ebola breaks out in Uganda, kills one, 30 monitored
http://en.www.info.vn/society/facts/25960.html
The deadly Ebola hemorrhagic fever has broken out in Uganda, killing one person and leaving over 30 others being monitored by health officials, ministry of health announced here on Saturday.
The epicenter of the outbreak is in the central Ugandan district of Luwero located about 50 km north of the capital Kampala.
According to Anthony Mbonye, head of the community health department at the ministry of health, a 12 year old girl in Zirombwe Sub-county developed symptoms of Ebola and when she was admitted at a military hospital in the district, laboratory test confirmed that it was Ebola.
The Ebola virus is highly contagious and causes a range of symptoms including fever, vomiting, diarrhea, generalized pain or malaise and in many cases internal and external bleeding.
The girl died on May 6 and about 30 people who she got contact with are being asked to not get into contact with the public as health officials monitor them for about 21 days.
The 30 people have not yet developed the symptoms but if they do, they will be isolated from the public.
Mbonye said that preliminary investigations have showed that this Ebola virus is similar to the one that broke out in Sudan, thus named Sudan Ebola.
The epicenter of the outbreak is also located along the high way to southern Sudan.
This viral subtype has a human case fatality rate of 60 percent meaning that it will kill 60 percent of the infected people.
The other subtype is the Congo Ebola which also attacked Uganda in 2007. This one has a human case fatality rate of over 80 percent.
The 2007 outbreak which occurred in the western district of Bundibugyo bordering eastern Democratic Republic of Congo claimed 37 lives out of the 148 infected.
Mbonye said that there also ongoing investigations to find out whether the index case got into contact with moneys or bats, the known reservoirs of the Ebola virus.
Following the outbreak, government has reactivated the National Ebola Task Force (NETF) to coordinate the fight against the disease at the national level.
District task forces are also in the process of being formed according to Mbonye, who is the chairperson of the NETF.
Immigration officials at all the country's border posts have been put on alert and the neighboring countries have been notified about the outbreak.
According to Joachim Saweka, World Health Organization (WHO) representative here, tight border controls are not yet necessary although the immigration officers should be on alert.
With some people reluctant to disclose their exact areas of origin for fear of being inconvenienced and perhaps quarantined, it remains a challenge how the immigration staff will handle the situation.
According Saweka, a team of experts from WHO are also on the way to Uganda to beef up the team which is already camped in the affected district.
A ministry of health statement issued on Saturday urged the public to stay calm as all possible measures are being undertaken to control the situation.
The ministry urged the public to avoid direct contact with body fluids of a person suffering from Ebola by using protective materials like gloves and masks.
The public is also urged to burry people who have died of Ebola immediately and avoid feasting and funerals.
Government has also stocked the necessary drug supplies and logistics for case management. Isolation facilities have also been set up in the affected district.
"Any claim of somebody bleeding should not just be disregarded but should be rushed to the nearest health centre and then from there we are already working with the health system to try to instruct how to deal with these cases," said Saweka.
Borders on high alert after Ebola outbreak is confirmed

Districts neighbouring key border points have been put on high alert after health officials warned of a possible spread of the Ebola haemorrhagic fever.
The outbreak of the deadly disease, which has killed one person so far, was announced by the Ministry of Health on Saturday. “We have already alerted the people at the border points to put in place safety measures and to report any suspected cases to the nearest health facility,” Dr Anthony Mbonye, the head of the Ebola task force, said.
This follows the death, on May 6 of a 12-year-old girl from a type of Ebola believed to be common in neighbouring Sudan.
Strains
The World Health Organisation says there are at least five types of Ebola—Zaire, Sudan, Cote d’ Ivoire, Bundibugyo and Reston.The disease has no known cure.
In this particular type known as Sudan Ebola, Dr Mbonye said 50 to 60 per cent of clinically-ill patients end up dying.He explained that with massive movement of people across borders every day, the potential for infected persons to spread the virus is very high. This is because the Ebola virus is spread by direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other body fluids of infected persons.
So far there are no new cases of the disease reported but the Ministry of Health is closely monitoring some 33 people who are believed to have had direct contact with the girl who died including medical workers at Bombo Military Hospital where she died.
“We are observing and monitoring these 33 people for at least 21 days to see if they show signs and symptoms of the fever,” Dr Mbonye said.
Health officials have also issued precautionary measures including avoiding direct contact with body fluids of infected persons, using protective gears to handle infected cases and avoiding feasting on dead monkeys.
In Luweero District—some 60kms from Kampala city where the latest case of the disease was confirmed—the reaction has been mixed—with some residents of Zirobwe Sub-county where the girl died, claiming ignorance about the outbreak.
Mr Abdon Mugerwa, the area LC3 chairman, told Daily Monitor that the health officials have not come out clearly to inform the public about what happened and try to find ways of isolating people who might be suspected to have had contact with the deceased girl.
Uganda is not new to epidemics. It has twice been hit by Ebola with major outbreaks in 2000 and 2007.
WARDEN MESSAGE

REPORT OF EBOLA HEMMORAGIC FEVER IN CENTRAL UGANDA
On May 14, 2011, the Uganda Ministry of Health confirmed that a 12-year-old girl who died on May 6 at Bombo Military Hospital, Luwero District (one hour north of Kampala) was infected with the Ebola virus. The Ministry of Health, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and international partners are investigating the case to determine the extent of the outbreak and if additional cases are present. As of now, there are no additional cases.
Ebola is a deadly disease but is preventable. A person suffering from Ebola presents with sudden onset of high fever with any of the following: headache, vomits blood, has joint and muscle pains, bleeds through the body openings (eyes, nose, gums, ears, anus) and has reduced urine. Ebola disease can only be spread through direct contact with body fluids like saliva, urine or blood of an infected person or the body of someone who has died from the disease. Since the virus spreads through direct contact with blood and other body secretions of an infected person, people living with and caring for Ebola patients are at a high risk of getting infected.
The U.S. Mission in Kampala and the CDC office in Uganda recommend that U.S. citizens working, residing and traveling in central Uganda avoid contact with individuals exhibiting the symptoms described above until further information becomes available.
To minimize the risk of contracting Ebola, avoid direct contact with body fluids (blood, saliva, vomitus, urine, and stool) by wearing protective materials like gloves, masks and gowns. Also avoid communal washing of hands during funerals and any other public gatherings.
