Fears
that ebola could spread to Nigerian mega-city Lagos are proving to be well
founded. A doctor has tested positive for the disease after he treated the
Liberian man who flew into Lagos sick with ebola.
The
Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, also said that eight persons that had
first degree contact with the Liberian before he got to the hospital had also
been quarantined and are under strict observation.
Business
Insider also reports that shares of a company that is developing
treatment for ebola are surging.
Ultimately,
fears about a true ebola outbreak are far-fetched. The disease is much more
difficult to spread than a cold or flu but with cases continuing to mount,
fears will ratchet higher before they dissipate.
