    Monkeys Dying Due to Ebola

    Near Washington DC
    On December 1989 in Reston Virginia, USAMRIID will be leading the mission to stop the
    plague that is killing the monkeys.

    Ebola virus was found to be carried over to the USA from the monkeys that were delivered here
    for scientific reasons to the monkey house.

    Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a rare and deadly disease caused by infection with one of the Ebola
    virus species. Ebola can cause disease in humans and nonhuman primates. Some symptoms are
    fevers, chills and nausea.

    The death rate is around fifty percent. We recommend people to be very cautious due to it being
    very lethal.

    The virus is being controlled by USAMRIID. They will make sure the monkeys with the the
    virus do not get exposed to the outside world. If anything gets out of hand they will take charge.

    USAMRIID is a subordinate laboratory of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel
    Command.To provide leading edge medical capabilities to deter and defend against current and
    emerging biological threat agents.

    Even though this is a very dangerous virus we want civilians to stay calm as possible. Reston
    Monkey house and USAMRIID are working on it and are having it under control. For more
    information contact the Ebola Hotline at (707)1167-297, or visit Ebola Alert.org.
