A second person died in Lagos, Nigeria's capital, and five more have confirmed cases there. Just under 1000 have died so far in W. Africa and the numbers are increasing RAPIDLY. Several health care providers have contracted it. One doctor has died and two are in the USA in Atlanta in an isolation facility. Lagos has 20,000,000 people and the incubation period is several weeks without symptoms...but in that period the six infected could well have [likely have] passed it on to others and they, in turn, to yet others. It could rapidly go exponential...and it is extremely difficult to treat - as all the care givers must be in isolation suits and undergo strict disinfection procedures several times per hour! With air travel what it is, it is only a matter of time before it comes to other continents. It is endemic in parts of Africa, with the suspect reservoir being fruit bats.
