A researcher from TZ came back to TZ sick and travelled to several places that covered 1,600 km. The doc Died and now those who came into contact are sick. TZ is refusing to give who access to lab tests for dead doctor and the other quarantined. The danger is if this doctor travelled by air or train or bus it is going to result to a lot of exposure. Hopefully this is Marburg as claimed by TZ

Can you imagine if this doc travelled  by plane with travellers to all over the place in east Africa and international. This may be a bad year for tourism if this case is Ebola. How the hell has AU not prioritized drc outbreak. I know there is security issue and last I heard USA had pulled CDC personell from drc

CDC is back in drc and WHO has asked for this to be declared a global emergency. Trump appointees travelled to drc for assessment. I guess everyone has come around to realize that this can go on unresolved for ever. I really commend Uganda and drc they have dealt with Ebola several times and been able to contain it. The worry is Tanzania doesn't have exprience but I trust they have a health system that rally and contain it
