What a horrible way to die.. S&F... Let us all hope those who are dealing with this stuff get a handle on its spread.. I read someplace last week there were 1800+ infected.... so at this point we can expect more deaths.

10 in Lagos, 77 under Surveillance.

Lets just hope it gets better before it gets worse.

Lagos is a major city for it to spread. Not good

The thing about Lagos is that they more or less knew from the start what he had, so they have a chance at keeping it contained there. Guinea, Sierra Leonne, and Liberia never had that chance. Nigeria, on the other hand, has a clear "Patient Zero" type scenario here. Let's hope it's all they have to deal with, and they can keep a handle on it. If they can, then there is a chance that they can feed enough supportive care the infected to minimize their losses and save some who would otherwise not have a chance.
