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.
This is a brand that we grew up with, it will not change today or tomorrow. Many have come and gone buy what is important is proper way of distribution which @KIWIShoeCareUS did
We’re glad to have hosted the team from WFP Uganda. Together we visited some of the smallholder farmers we’re working with in Yumbe. We also showcased our unique mobile-micro saving technology to the team from WFP.
