 BREAKING:

WHO says 10 out of 12 samples from the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo have tested positive for malaria.

"[...] it's possible that more than one disease is involved. Further samples will be collected and tested to determine the exact cause or causes."

DJ, Some expected maybe H7N9-flu could be a factor...so far no evidence...

Very likely the sudden increase in deaths is a combination of factors. 
-better statistics...There may not even have been a basic administration on births and deaths...
-Mal-nutrition/starvation...
-Malaria must have been an "old factor" not the "new killer"...

Possible an increase of deaths because people did catch that many infections/diseases for that long the body simply gives up...

DJ-Keeping 0,1% "owning the planet"  with over a billion people dealing with less than 1 doctor per 100,000+  of the population is not only criminal it is also (again) asking for pandemics...

Closing the border without providing help means "the poor can die"...What kind of civilization do we want to be ?
