Finally some good news: Nigeria and Senegal are now officially Ebola-free.

Nice but I don't believe it.  The definition of "Ebola free" is the lack of a reported Ebola case for three weeks.  But I bet some people are not reporting their illness (or it would not surprise me).
"Ebola free" should be read as no infected person has been registered. The virus is probably still in the area because it can survive in other mammals including apes and bats.
Another form of this virus has been found in 1976, the virus can survive for many many years in an area.

maybe it is a good idea to register some ebola related domain names
Is there a market for ebola?   Huh
