It’s been 42 days since the last case of Ebola was diagnosed in Nigeria.

The World Health Organization declared Nigeria free of Ebola on Monday, a containment victory in an outbreak that has stymied other countries’ response efforts.

The milestone came at about 11 a.m. local time, or 6 a.m., E.T. The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 in West Africa is remains unchecked in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, so Nigeria is by no means immune to another outbreak.

“It’s possible to control Ebola. It’s possible to defeat Ebola. We’ve seen it here in Nigeria,” Nigerian Minister of Health Onyebuchi Chukwu told TIME. “If any cases emerge in the future, it will be considered—by international standards—a separate outbreak. If that happens, Nigeria will be ready and able to confront it exactly as we have done with this outbreak.”

    Meanwhile the carnival cruise liner has been banished for eternity to the Gulf of Mexico after being refused landing rights by Perry and the open carry Texas posse.

    So is Nigeria going to block flights from Texas? This is good news…not to be taken as immunity from further cases but, good news. Also good news is the news that so many people who were in quarantine in Texas are out of quarantine and healthy. I don’t know what FoxSpews will base their hysteria on today but I am sure that the President and libruls will be the cause of it.

    “Nigerian Exceptionalism” defeated Ebola in 42 days!
    Meanwhile Perry’s laughable TX guber candidate Abbott feigns ‘refusing free Federal Medicaid to defund Texans ObamaCare saves lives.’ Teabaggers just aren’t credible.
