Obama promised Ebola would never make it to America, and it did. Now, Ebola could hit the UK by the end of October according to Breitbart. Why Ebola in the UK? It’s because they have some of the world’s busiest airports and is a regular destination for African travelers.

Scientists using data models to map the spread of the deadly Ebola virus claim there is a good chance the outbreak will spread to the United Kingdom and France by the end of the month, but reducing air traffic in and out of North-West Europe by just a fifth would slash the chances of it reaching the UK to fifteen percent.
The disease, which is presently undergoing the largest outbreak on record remains largely confined to the African West-Coast and has killed nearly 3,500 through haemorrhagic fever. A small number of cases have been treated outside of West Africa as foreign nationals have been returned home for medical care, including France, the United Kingdom, Spain, and now the United States.
Despite the small numbers of cases reported outside of the core of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone the potential for the highly contagious virus to spread organically has been studied and probabilities have been assigned by the Laboratory for the Modelling of Biological and Socio-Technical Systems at Northeastern University in Boston, reports The Independent.
