Congo Reports First Ebola Cases as Outbreak Continues

Ebola continues to spread and ignite fears with the Democratic Republic of Congo reporting its first cases over the weekend. The Congo is hundreds of miles away from the nearest affected country, but officials there say they suspect they've had more than a dozen Ebola deaths. At last count on Friday, the virus had killed at least 1,427 people and sickened 1,188 more ââ,¬â€œ numbers thought to ââ,¬Å"vastly underestimateââ,¬? the outbreakââ,¬â,,¢s true toll, according to the World Health Organization, which is expected to release updated case counts soon.
