Please read this #Ebola thread. @JeremyKonyndyk knows of what he speaks.
This outbreak is going to be a beast to contain. And the longer it goes before the world mounts an effective response, the harder it's going to be to contain it.
Confirmado un nuevo caso positivo de hantavirus tras PCR en una de las personas que permanecen en cuarentena preventiva en el Hospital Gómez Ulla.
Corresponde a un contacto estrecho identificado dentro del seguimiento epidemiológico activado tras la detección inicial del brote.
@WhiteHouse Bye-bye, first amendment in the US. Extremely disappointing post from a formal government account. Especially one that used to be land of the free, home of the brave.
#Hantavirus update:
- no new deaths in 20 days;
- the #Netherlands reported one additional case — a crew member who left the ship in Tenerife, was repatriated, and has been isolating since;
- total number of cases up to date 12, with three deaths (all before 2 May)
The situation is stabilising. @WHO is actively monitoring all quarantined passengers and crew alongside national governments. Surveillance will continue until the incubation period ends for everyone who was on board.

@MackayIM fyi one to watch: medic who was in close contact with passenger who disembarked on Ascension island medically evacuated to the UK yesterday. Symptomatic but not confirmed / precautionary: https://t.co/N0fhNNIXyj
@j_g_allen One to watch: medical professional who was in close contact with Hondius passenger on Ascension medically evacuated to the UK. Symptomatic but not confirmed yet: https://t.co/N0fhNNIXyj
@stanvanpelt Ik hoop het zeer - komende week blijft nog spannend. Een medisch hulpverlener die niet op de boot zat, maar op Ascension island in 'close contact' was met een passagier ban Hondius, is gisteren in de UK opgenomen met symptomen - nog niet bevestigd: https://t.co/N0fhNNIXyj
