Ebola in Alice, Texas (and reckless CNN reporting)

[Michael Rivero]

  CNN and the net (except oddly for this group here) are reporting
on the small Ebola Reston outbreak in Alice Texas.

  In a typical example of how accurate CNN is at times, they made the statement
that Ebola Reston (yes, Reston) was responsible for an outbreak in Zaire
that killed over 300 people, following it immediatly with references to
the Reston Monmkey House and a statement that the Reston variant does not 
appear to infect humans (which I understand to be true).

  The confusion between Reston and Zaire Ebolas makes for good nes stories but
bad science. Someone ought to whack CNN on the wrist (with an architects ruler).
