QuoteTwo 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.

And just in time for Rosh Hashanah too. Yup, that's right folks: the tribulation is scheduled to start at 6pm the evening of the 25th local Jerusalem time. 11am tomorrow EST.
Will Jesus lead them? Has the day arrived? ;D
Sorry apocolyptophiles, just my little joke.
YOu find some absolute gems mate. I love your posts. :)
Zombie apocalypse? No problem, I have been playing Dead Trigger 2, a game in which I already killed 110,533 zombies. ;D
PS: I will await for more sources on that resurrection.
I can't find any more sources. There are a number of hits that source the original article in the Op.
But here is an opposing viewpont:
More Chinese Believe that Ebola Creates Zombieshttp://www.chinatopix.com/articles/6798/20140814/ebola-zombies.htm
QuoteSeems like a number of well, misinformed, Chinese are posting online their fervent belief that Ebola is creating Zombies. This minority belief first broached among Chinese netizens in 2010 has since spread like wildfire thanks to the current Ebola epidemic in West Africa and the resulting wave of fearful gossip posted on Chinese social media sites.
The deluge of posts claiming "Ebola Zombies" exist forced government run news agency, Xinhua, to take the unusual step of publishing a story debunking the theory those who die from Ebola will resurrect as brain-eating Zombies.
Chinese believers call this phenomenon "Zombie Disease."
Terrifyingly, the Chinese term for Zombie Disease is listed as a synonym for Ebola on the Chinese online dictionary, Baike.

QuoteAbstract
Zombies are a popular figure in pop culture/entertainment and they are usually
portrayed as being brought about through an outbreak or epidemic. Consequently,
we model a zombie attack, using biological assumptions based on popular zombie
movies. We introduce a basic model for zombie infection, determine equilibria and
their stability, and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions. We then refine the
model to introduce a latent period of zombification, whereby humans are infected, but
not infectious, before becoming undead. We then modify the model to include the
effects of possible quarantine or a cure. Finally, we examine the impact of regular,
impulsive reductions in the number of zombies and derive conditions under which
eradication can occur. We show that only quick, aggressive attacks can stave off the
doomsday scenario: the collapse of society as zombies overtake us all

Acadia math prof getting ahead of the ZombiesWendy ElliottPublished on September 29, 2014

Quotef a nasty epidemic like Ebola were to hit Canada, there is a playful - but pretty accurate - model for how to avoid becoming a zombie.
Five years ago, graduate students and mathematicians from two universities in Ottawa created a model for a zombie invasion, which earned them a spot in the Guinness Book of Records.
Philip Munz, who now teaches math at Acadia University, was a member of the quartet who hypothesized how a zombie attack would impact on human civilization.
While zombies loom large in the movies, Munz says, the modelling that was done in that paper is very much related to kind of modelling of the spread of infectious diseases like SARS and Ebola today.
"The paper was done as part of a final project for a first course on mathematically modelling infectious diseases, so it is a very basic model," he said.
While zombies as a subject is fictional, Muz says, the math in the paper is the same as what would be used as the foundation to begin modelling the spread of real-life diseases.
And for the religious in our midst:

Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

ITEMMan Thought to Have Died From Ebola Awakes After Burial Team Wraps Him Up
Oct 2, 2014, 11:11 AM ET
By DR. RICHARD BESSER
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/man-thought-died-ebola-awakes-burial-team-arrives/story?id=25915800
QuoteMONROVIA, Liberia -- Amid the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, it's easier to get help if you are dead than if you are alive.
My producer and I were driving back from an assignment in Monrovia, where we filmed this morning's "Good Morning America" segment, when we saw a burial team working along the roadway surrounded by crowds of angry locals.
A community leader said they had been trying to get help for the dead man for days, but no ambulance ever came. When the man died, a burial team came in an hour.
We watched as the burial team suited up and approached the body lying against a wall. They sprayed it down with bleach and moved it to a black, plastic sheet and began to wrap it up.
"We couldn't get him help when he was alive," a community leader told me. "They only come when you die."
Just then, the dead man moved his arm -- just a little, but clearly a sign of life.
"He's alive," someone yelled.
The burial team unwrapped him and put him back on the ground. The man was alive but looked like he would only last a few more hours.
About ten minutes later, an ambulance pulled up and a separate team of health workers loaded him into the back.
The crowd went wild cheering.
Got to wonder if they are still infectious? :o
Burial teams have now largely been responsible for ensuring they're not burying catatonic, yet legally alive humans. They're literally kicking terminal patients scattered across the ground to determine their state...
???
Wonder if these guys have anything at all to do with this?

CDC Pushes Preparedness For Zombies Over Ebola Quote"...If you're prepared for a zombie, you're really prepared for...an infectious disease," CDC Director Tom Frieden said in 2012
QuoteThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention placed more emphasis on a "zombie preparedness" campaign than preparations for Ebola despite a $6.6 billion yearly budget.
A simple Google search on the CDC web site reveals more search results for "zombie preparedness" (253 results) than "Ebola preparedness" (178 results), highlighting the misplaced priorities of the health agency which admitted Tuesday it did little to contain Ebola in Dallas, Texas.
The CDC's "zombie preparedness" documents stem from a public awareness campaign the agency launched in 2011 to take advantage of the popularity of the TV show The Walking Dead.
"It was actually a great way to get people to think about, you know if you're prepared for a zombie, you're really prepared for a hurricane, a tornado, an infectious disease, just about anything," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told NPR in 2012.
The then-Director of the CDC's Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, Dr. Ali Khan, echoed a similar statement.
"If you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse, you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake or terrorist attack," he wrote.
But it would appear this "zombie preparedness" campaign did little to prepare U.S. health workers for the Ebola pandemic in Dallas, Texas, now that a second nurse has the disease after treating the late Thomas Eric Duncan, who was the first patient diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S.
