It has spread to Saudi Arabia now...

(CNN) —A nurse in Nigeria. A businessman in Saudi Arabia. A Spanish priest in Liberia.

With the World Health Organization announcing Wednesday that 932 deaths had been reported or confirmed as a result of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, Saudi Arabia joined the list of countries with suspected cases.

"Trust your experts they know what there doing" rates as high as "Were with the government and were here to help you." While not a huge threat Ebola if it gets loose can cause damage on par with the Black Plague, sure there two different disease's but at this time were in the same boat as the people of the Middle Ages were. Large populations and no way to effectively treat the disease. People are people and someone will always try to get out rather than stay and seek medical attention. And that's how something like this will spread.

Looks like someone in D.C. is taking this seriously, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) has issued their highest alert of 1 and a "all hands on deck" for this one:

Police and soldiers in Sierra Leone blockaded rural areas hit by the deadly Ebola virus on Thursday, a senior officer said, after neighbouring Liberia declared a state of emergency to tackle the worst-ever outbreak of the disease, which has killed 932 people.

Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf announced emergency measures late on Wednesday that will, for 90 days, allow her government to curtail civil rights by imposing quarantines on badly affected communities to contain an epidemic that has struck four West African nations.

Still a long way to go before it causes as much trouble as the post-Great War Spanish flu pandemic did.
