Uganda and the Ebola outbreak.

Did Uganda cover up the Ebola outbreak because of the Chogm meeting? Interesting, and maybe more so because it is the letters to newspapers which are raising the question.

this year. So Ebola must have been high on the list of suspects for

this current outbreak. I hope the official announcement of this

outbreak was not politically delayed so as not to disrupt Chogm.

after raging for almost four months within days of the end of the

Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting? I wonder how many Ugandan

lives might have been saved!

Again it is the medics who are getting sick, though there is some panic in the west.

Guess now that it is known, it will be controlled. But interesting question, was the outbreak covered up?
