The worst of the worst right there - that is one scary pathogen.

People fled their homes .... and went where?  Wherever the next outbreak occurs.

Thousands more US troops to be sent to Africa
June 13, 2012

The Army Times confirms that the US military gave the go-ahead for the mass deployment last month and that roughly 3,000 soldiers will soon be sent overseas, with more troops expected to be dispatched during the duration of the program. Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, head of US Army Africa, says the initiative is part of a “regionally aligned force concept” that will allow American troops to forge relationships across Africa, where the US has not concentrated its soldiers among civilians to the same degree as other continents.

Thank goodness Russia has a free press or we would never have a clue what is going on in the good ol USA.
