It seems that the Bono U2 Ebola news has been making the headlines as of late, claiming that the singer has contracted ebola after a supposed incident where he was caring for a dying man suffering from the said disease.
According to Organ Grinder Magazine: "Bono, birthname Paul David Hewson and other volunteer health-care workers wore protective gear, including gowns, gloves, masks and face shields - and sometimes full-body suits - when caring for Kmore Sanjij this week. This, naturally launched a review of procedures for treating infected patients, while the World Health Organization called the outbreak 'the most severe, acute health emergency seen in modern times.' Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at a press conference "The only fortunate thing here is that Mr. Hewson's involvement will bring the epidemic the international attention that it deserves. Hewson was monitoring his own temperature and went to the hospital Friday night as soon as he discovered he was running a low fever. He is in isolation and is expected to live, health officials said. By Monday evening, he has received a transfusion of plasma from Kent Brantly, a Texas doctor who survived the virus. Brantly, an aid worker in Liberia, was flown back to the U.S. and treated with the experimental drug ZMapp at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Another American doctor who contracted Ebola in Liberia, Phil Sacra, received two blood transfusions from Brantly as part of a treatment program at the Nebraska Medical Center that allowed him to recover from the virus."
This, along with other websites, have been claiming that the Bono U2 Ebola news is true, but credible sources have claimed that the said website, along with others, are merely "clickbaits", making up headlines just to garner hits.
Fans over twitter were quick to believe the hoax, thus making the news viral.
The news started after a photo of Bono in a hospital bed with an IV line inserted on his hand has surfaced the internet. Apparently, the photo was real, but he wasn't hospitalized due to ebola. According to The Independent, the photo was taken last 2010 after Bono suffered from a herniated disk. The site was also quick to disprove the hoax by stating that Bono just recently did a Q&A with Facebook, apologizing for the recet U2 stunt on iPhones.
