A Liberian woman appears to have contracted Ebola from unprotected sex with a man who survived the virus, health officials said today.

The 44-year-old woman was diagnosed March 20, the first new Ebola case in Liberia in a month. Doctors were perplexed by her case, because she hadn't been to a funeral or had any other contact with current patients, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But the woman did have unprotected vaginal intercourse a few weeks earlier, with a 45-year-old Ebola survivor who has been free of the disease for months. The man developed the disease in September and was discharged from a treatment center in early October. That man also had sex with a second woman, who has not tested positive for Ebola, the CDC says.

Wow! They'll be looking closely at this case because it's not supposed to lay dormant like that in humans....

Empty Ebola Clinics in Liberia Are Seen as Misstep in U.S. Relief Effort

By NORIMITSU ONISHI  APRIL 11, 2015


MONROVIA, Liberia — As bodies littered the streets and the sick lay dying in front of overwhelmed clinics last year, President Obama ordered the largest American intervention ever in a global health crisis, hoping to stem the deadliest Ebola epidemic in history.

But after spending hundreds of millions of dollars and deploying nearly 3,000 troops to build Ebola treatment centers, the United States ended up creating facilities that have largely sat empty: Only 28 Ebola patients have been treated at the 11 treatment units built by the United States military, American officials now say.

Nine centers have never had a single Ebola patient.

"My task was to convince the international organizations, 'You don't need any more E.T.U.s,' " said Dr. Hans Rosling, a Swedish public health expert who advised Liberia's health ministry, referring to Ebola treatment units.

"I warned them, 'The only thing you'll show is an empty E.T.U.,' " he added. " 'Don't do it.' "

The American response, it turns out, was outpaced by the fast-moving and unpredictable disease.

Are you trying to tell me politicians waste our money? ;)

They set the bar so low for themselves, you can't expect anyone to be surprised.

More a right bunch of bastards IMHO, along with the Nazis, and the Soviets who all did the same sort of stuff. Shame on the hypocrisy of the Allies in not charging them with war crimes. >:(

Not a wow, serious danger. That guy may carry a mutation that many will want to weaponize. It would be best for everyone if it is all incinerated.
