An Ebola outbreak in a southwestern province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is escalating quickly, as some health responders say they have less than a tenth of the funding needed to contain the deadly disease.

As of this week, there have been at least 57 cases and 35 deaths—a 61 percent fatality rate, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

    Its a good idea to offer aid to these countries. If not for the humanitarian reasons that the ghouls in charge cant grasp, but for the good of the citizens in the US.

    Keeping those diseases in control in Africa and South America, keeps them from spreading to the US.
