Karma is a bitch, and in this case, an infectious deadly one. It all started when a man stole a mobile phone from a patient in an isolation ward at Kagadi Hospital, in Western Uganda.
As it turns out, the patient was suffering from Ebola, one of a number of cases in a recent outbreak in Uganda. The patient later died from the hemorrhagic fever, but before dying, he reported the theft of his phone to hospital security, who began investigating. Police detectives traced the suspected thief, age 40, after he began communicating with his friends using the stolen phone.
As police zeroed in on him, he developed symptoms similar to those of Ebola and sought medication at the hospital.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni announced in a televised broadcast that people should refrain from physical contact like shaking hands, casual s*x and do-it-yourself burials to reduce the chance of contracting Ebola. And from stealing cell phones, evidently. Shocking!
