GENEVA - The World Health Organization should and is likely to declare an international emergency over the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo that has now spread to Uganda, experts said as a WHO advisory panel met on Friday.

A panel of 13 independent medical experts on the WHO’s Emergency Committee were meeting from midday to evaluate the latest evidence and whether the epidemic constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern . People are still dying outside of Ebola treatment centers - exposing their families to the disease - and many don’t appear on lists of known contacts being monitored, he said.

Only 4 emergencies have been declared in the past decade: the H1 virus that caused an influenza pandemic , West Africa’s Ebola outbreak, polio and Zika virus .Top WHO official Mike Ryan said on Thursday there had been no known person-to-person spread of Ebola in Uganda and that there were encouraging signs in Congo, with the disease’s spread slowing in cities of Butembo and Katwa. However it the virus was now entrenched in rural areas including Mabalako, he said.

While CDC tells us everything is fine? Our government is trying to kill us! Ebola is bad news! Having blood pouring out of every socket in your body including your pores isn’t a good thing. CDC isn’t a friend of mine.

So we’ll have to build a wall around it then?

Americans mobilized to pre-emptively deny the international emergency.

Who is WHO?
