Spain cries ‘We are all going to die’ after confirmed Ebola case

Spaniards online call for the resignation of the health minister over Ebola outbreak.

Ebola panic hit Spain on Tuesday as the country’s health ministry confirmed a nurse contracted the virus. At a press conference, Minister Ana Mato revealed the 40-year-old nurse had treated two Ebola patients, who later died, at the Carlos III Hospital in Madrid.

The hashtag #VAMOSAMORIRTODOS (We’re all going to die) trended as Spanish netizens put a sarcastic spin on panicked reactions. It has been used more than 51,000 times in one day.
