In the live bats captured, no trace of Ebola was found, but previous tests have shown that the species found can carry the disease. (Cannot find live or dead bats with ebola. Only that this bat carries the disease. How do you know that?) Only a stump now remains of the tree but when the scientists tested samples of soil and ash at the base, they found traces of bat remains. (But no ebola?) Scientists who visited the village of Meliandou, in Guinea, found that Emile Ouamouno and other children used to play with and sometimes hunt the bats, which are believed to carry Ebola. Emile died in December, followed by his sister and mother, but the virus did not come to global attention until March – when it spread to Liberia and on to Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, Spain, the USA and now Britain. (Were other children infected or just Emile? Could this have come from a vaccination as the child is 2 years old?) Can we dwell on these statements? The mind is a terrible thing to waste. Happy New Year. Ebola in Africa is not over. independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/how-ebola-started-a-twoyearold-boy-playing-in-a-tree-with-bats-9950330.html
