Ebola

One item not getting much attention that could become a front page story overnight is the out break of Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). 1,300 have died and the disease has now crossed the border into Uganda. More than 500 immigrants from Africa including 300 from DRC have recently crossed the southern border and where sent to Portland, Maine. About 5 million people are trying to get out of DRC. People suspected of having this disease must be quarantined for 24 days but this is not being done. If one person brings this disease into the country it will cause a total reevaluation of the border situation and quickly become a big news story.
