Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
Attempts to control a deadly virus in Guinea appear to be failing as the outbreak continues to spread.
Three cases of hemorrhagic fever cases in Guinea’s capital of Conakry were negative for Ebola, however, doctors have not been able to determine the cause of the infections that have killed two of the three hospitalized victims.
Guinea has been facing a massive outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus, which kills up to 90 percent of those infected. World Health Organization officials have isolated three rural villages in an attempt to keep the virus from spreading.
At least 60 deaths have been confirmed from Ebola. The total does not include deaths in rural villages where the villagers did not report the illness of a family member or buried them before they could be tested for the virus.
Health officials fear the quarantine of the areas will fail because locals are afraid of the virus and fleeing rural towns for the nation’s capital city.
There is no treatment or vaccine available for Ebola. The most recent epidemic occurred in 2012 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and killed 62 people.
