Probably bullshit, but it's going to cause even more panic.

Two Ebola patients, who died of the virus in separate communities in Nimba County have reportedly resurrected in the county. The victims, both females, believed to be in their 60s and 40s respectively, died of the Ebola virus recently in Hope Village Community and the Catholic Community in Ganta, Nimba.

But to the amazement of residents and onlookers on Monday, the deceased reportedly regained life in total disbelief. The NewDawn Nimba County correspondent said the late Dorris Quoi of Hope Village Community and the second victim only identified as Ma Kebeh, said to be in her late 60s, were about to be taken for burial when they resurrected.

Ma Kebeh had reportedly been in door for two nights without food and medication before her alleged death. Nimba County has had bazaar news of Ebola cases with a native doctor from the county, who claimed that he could cure infected victims, dying of the virus himself last week.

News of the resurrection of the two victims has reportedly created panic in residents of Hope Village Community and Ganta at large, with some citizens describing Dorris Quoi as a ghost, who shouldn't live among them. Since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims resurrecting.

They'll end up being running zombies, and all of us Romero fans will die yelling, "But you can't run! It just isn't right!"

Booooooolsheeeet. Is anyone surprised that in an infected area, already riddled with panic, such stories wouldn't pop up?
 
Journalist cannot spell 'bizarre', uses 'bazaar'. Hm. The last sentence is fantastic: "Since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims resurrecting." Like, in other outbreaks of ebola, we've already had resurrections, but this is the first one in Nimba County.

Alternately there were frequent resurrections before the outbreak, but they were temporarily put on hold while the disease ran its course.

Besides, didn't that one Resident Evil game show the world that fighting off a zombie plague in Africa was really, really racist? Or something?

So now is Ebola racist, too?

Only if they start wearing tribal clothes, and have a leopard print bikini costume for the player 2 character.
 
"regained life in total disbelief"

Sounds like legit journalism.

Well, this is from the same continent where police arrested a goat for suspected witchcraft.

Yeah, I know Africa is fucking huge and that was a different country, but how often do you get to bring up warlock goats?
