Don't mean to argue the pt to death but didn't Ebola Reston, the 
airborne strain, infect either one or two of the people working in the 
monkey facility. If I recall properly, it wasn't fatal or serious, just 
caused headaches and some nosebleeds. 
If anyone can confirm or add to my sketchy memory please do.

As of 5/11/95 Boston Globe where the story was buried on page 5 or so. 
There have been 10 deaths in a city 60 miles to the west of Kikwit, 
reported by Drs. w/o Borders. Two people who had been in Kikwit for one 
of the nuns funerals are now under observation in Italy. 

Wonder how many other people have left the area.........
