Beschrijving

On September 30, 2014, a patient in a hospital in Dallas was diagnosed with Ebola, according to the head of the Centers for Disease Control. According to Dr. Jon LaPook, this is the first time the illness, which has killed hundreds in West Africa, has been identified in the United States. The World Health Organization has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo a public health emergency of international concern. The outbreak in DR Congo's eastern Ituri province has resulted in about 246 suspected cases and 80 deaths, but it does not meet the criteria for a pandemic emergency. The WHO warned that it could be "a much larger outbreak" than currently detected and reported, with a significant risk of local and regional spread. The current strain of Ebola is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, for which there are no approved drugs or vaccines. Early symptoms include fever, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhea, a rash, and bleeding. The WHO said there are now eight laboratory-confirmed cases of the virus, with other suspected cases and deaths across three health zones, including Bunia, the capital of Ituri province, and the gold-mining towns of Mongwalu and Rwampara. One case of the virus has been confirmed in the capital, Kinshasa, believed to involve a patient returning from Ituri. The WHO said the virus has spread beyond DR Congo, with two confirmed cases reported in neighboring Uganda. Ugandan officials said a 59-year-old man who died on Thursday had tested positive.

EP: 140 The Mystery Of The 3 Sisters Found Dead In Brighton Beach

According to their devastated family, the mother of three sisters who were found dead in the sea near Brighton Beach also drowned. On May 13, three people from Uxbridge in west London—Jane Adetoro, 36; Christina Walter, 32; and Rebecca Walter, 31—were rescued from the sea.  Before emergency services were notified, it was thought they had entered the water near where they were discovered. The women were "the closest sisters and best friends who did everything together," according to their aunt Ajike Adetoro. Ms. Adetoro condemned the conspiracy theories that have spread since the tragedy, saying the family does not know why the siblings made the 70-mile journey from their home to the southern coast. But she suggested they may have been paying tribute to their mother, who died by drowning in Birmingham in 2010.

EP:139 Longview Explosion

The calls made to 911 from a Longview paper factory minutes after a chemical vat burst, killing at least eight people, have been made public by officials. As they continued to respond to a huge chemical tank leak earlier this week, crews on Thursday retrieved six dead from a Longview paper factory. With the addition of two individuals who were pronounced dead at nearby hospitals, the confirmed death toll from the Tuesday tragedy now stands at eight. In what Longview Fire Department Chief Brad Hannig described as "an active and hazardous environment," three additional persons are still missing and are thought to be dead. The deadliest industrial accident in Washington state in 96 years occurred when a highly caustic substance leaked into nearby rivers, killing and injuring workers. What we know about the catastrophe and the current recovery attempts is as follows.

EP: Iran Negotiation

President Trump issued a stern warning to Iran. Trump posted on Truth Social: "If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting “I surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary “Documents of Surrender” and admits their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Democrats and the media have totally lost their way. They have gone CRAZY!!!"
