WHO: Ebola epidemic outbreak is a public health emergency *Liberia declares state of emergency over Ebola virus disease* [Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is the human disease caused by the Ebola virus. Symptoms typically start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pains, and headaches. Typically nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea follow, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. At this point, some people begin to have bleeding problems.] [ West Africas Ebola epidemic is an extraordinary event and now constitutes an international health risk, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday. The Geneva-based UN health agency said the possible consequences of a further international spread of the outbreak, which has killed almost 1,000 people in four west African countries, were particularly serious in view of the virulence of the virus. A coordinated international response is deemed essential to stop and reverse the international spread of Ebola, the WHO said in a statement after a two-day meeting of its emergency committee on Ebola.] https://youtube/watch?v=aSpqnZYwdVU&list=UUKwucPzHZ7zCUIf7If-Wo1g
