On the CBS news this evening, I saw a map of Zaire showing the towns now 
affected.  Yesterday, there were three showing on the map, tonight, 
there's at least six.  They were saying that the Zairian govenment's 
quarantine, may be back firing.  People are leaving the quarantined area 
and avoiding hospitals for fear of being prosecuted.  The CDC and WHO 
have issued all sorts of statements indending to try to calm everyone's 
fears, but they don't seem to be working , especially when one takes into 
account all of the possibly affected people leaving the quarantine area 
and spreading this disease further and further.  If this doesn't burn 
itself out soon, it's only a matter of time before most airposrts start 
refusing to carry Zairian/African passengers, like they did last fall 
when India broke out with Bubonic plague.  I think they should do it now, 
since Ebola spreads much easier (do they even know all of its mode of 
transmissions?) than the Bubonic plague.
Did anyone pick up the names of the new towns affected?

"A vampire lives in a constant state of desire and disgust.  His nature 
often revolts him but he doesn't have the will to deny his indulgences.  
There's the killing, but there's also the pleasure, the sensuality, the 
lust, the sheer ecstasy of it all."
