.WATCH: “Tour operators and hotels are already experiencing cancellations due to misinformation, with Uganda being wrongly lumped together with neighbouring countries. This is negatively impacting tourism and hospitality, despite Uganda’s resilient health system and proven capacity to manage outbreaks.” @SarahKagingo, Vice Chairperson of the Board of Directors @PSF_Uganda . #ChimpReportsNews #KnowYourBudget26

It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.
So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.
As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.
