New Ebola outbreak confirmed in Uganda
Uganda has experienced increasingly regular outbreaks of deadly hemorrhagic fevers that have left health officials grappling for answers. The new Ebola outbreak was confirmed in a district 40 miles from the Ugandan capital, Kampala. Dr. Christine Ondoa, Uganda's Minister of Health, told the BBC that two members of the same family died during the past weekend, and a third man in the same proximity passed away in late October from what officials suspect was complications from the Ebola virus. Five people who were in contact with the dead are being monitored, with two being admitted to an isolation unit at a Kampala hospital. Another official told the Associated Press that up to 15 people are being monitored for signs of the disease.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
