According to Spiegel-online there was a woman from West Africa who collapsed with Ebola syptoms in a job center in Berlin-Pankow. She was isolated and transferred to the Charite clinic, but who knows, how many people have already been infected. As of now, Ebola has not been confirmed, but certainly is plausible.Some more information from http://www.thelocal.de/20140819/woman-be...-in-berlin :The emergency services cordoned off the premises after the 30-year-old collapsed and later told medics that she had had contact with victims of the deadly disease in her homeland.She was taken for testing at Berlin's Virchow hospital. Doctors later said that Ebola was no longer suspected and that the woman was probably suffering from an intestinal infection, the Berliner Zeitung reported.An initial assessment had determined symptoms of Ebola and the paramedics put in place quarantine measures.Police locked down the building until mid-afternoon while blood tests were carried out. The estimated 600 occupants were then allowed to leave.Update: Ebola tests were negative, the patient is now diagnosed with Malaria.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
