Yes Ebola is still around in Africa, it is confined to West Africa as sufferers can't travel far as they die quickly as a result it has not spread to far (thankfully). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/me...tes/413496.stm

although you may need a new picture skimmy, that one's got a woman kicking, i believe the idea is that it's supposed to hurt
