Trump’s Deadly Virus Plan Suffers Major Setback

Donald Trump’s plans to set up an Ebola quarantine facility on a Kenyan air base hit a major roadblock on Friday.

A Kenyan court temporarily suspended plans to establish a U.S.-built Ebola quarantine and treatment facility at Laikipia Air Base, about 120 miles north of Nairobi, on the same day Trump administration officials said it was due to begin operations.

The ruling deals a significant blow to the administration’s response to the worsening Ebola outbreak, centered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where suspected cases have surpassed 1,000 and nearly 250 suspected deaths have been reported.
