The Africa Centers for Disease Control (Africa CDC) said on Thursday that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda has now killed over 200 people, and the number of confirmed cases surged by 38 percent in just the past week.
Africa CDC reported 894 confirmed cases in total, with most of them sourced to the eastern DRC. This makes the current outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola much worse than Uganda’s first known Ebola outbreak in 2000, but not yet as bad as the devastating DRC outbreaks in 2014 and 2018.
Doctors fear the current outbreak will prove to be much larger than the confirmed case totals, because epidemiologists are not certain exactly when it began, and they are struggling to perform contract tracing on the large number of people who came into contact with known Ebola victims.
Africa CDC epidemiologist Wessam Mankoula said there should be 17,000 to 35,000 contacts for the 894 confirmed cases – but so far only about 4,000 contacts have been traced, or about 15 percent of the total.
“We are still far from controlling the situation of this outbreak,” he warned.

it is sad, but it is best to let them die. If we help, they will simply resent us, become muslim, and then later invade our countries and rape and murder our children.
Wear a mask.
And don’t hug and dance with the corpses...............
Oh boy.
How about the Wal-Mart?
Clearly they didn’t burn down enough hospitals. They should redouble their efforts to burn down ALL the hospitals, and set ALL the ebola patients free.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t fully qualify as a “Joke”, because there are some cultures who really will do what you just described if no one gets in their way.
In Indonesia: Every 5 to 7 years, the Malagasy families open their ancestral tombs. They remove the bones, rewrap them in fresh silk cloth, and dance with them to live music. The practice is calledFamadihana, or ‘the turning of the bones’.
And it’s a festival of love,, reunion and respect.
I want to be in America,
okay by me in America.

That’s a really interesting anecdote. I never heard of it.
Should be a James Wan film (the Conjuring, the Nun, Saw, Lights Out...). He’s from Malaysia, not Indonesia but that doesn’t matter.
Send Fauci to mop up the opportunity with no gloves or shoes.
It’s a very strange tradition. It was probably rather safe to perform those rituals when this tribe was for the most part isolated from surrounding islands and tribes.
They were sort of incubated from diseases that never happened in such close quarters. Then, the travelers arrived, followed by businessmen and military from other lands. ‘Eden’ was now debauched, like the rest of the known world.
The best survival rates and lowest transmission rates come from keeping the victim on a rubber cot that is pitched to drain all the bodily fluids into containment collection for incineration. Keep the victim on IV fluids wide open. Pray.
Fascinating.
They are facing huge challenges and some are almost impossible to avoid.
“”Another major obstacle is the large number of internally displaced persons (IDP) living in the outbreak region. Over two million people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes by relentless jihadist and insurgent violence are at risk of contracting Ebola, according to UNHCR, the U.N. refugee agency. Some 320,000 of those people are packed into unsanitary refugee camps, while the rest could spread Ebola to other parts of the DRC and neighboring countries with their movements.
UNHCR relayed an alarming incident from June 7, where “movements of armed groups triggered panic” and caused 2,250 people from Mbau, a town near Beni – a city at the center of the Ebola outbreak – to flee to the town of Oicha in North Kivu province, This type of panicked movement has a significant risk of spreading Ebola, and it is very difficult to trace the people involved, or the people they come into contact with.””
Quit hugging the dead guys. Supposedly the origin of man, yet these people haven’t progressed much beyond the cave.

During the last big one in 2014 I was describing how just the American home is a huge advantage, it has many elements that probably beat some of what is used by the field teams in Africa, our large porcelain bathrooms and bathtubs, with shower doors and shower curtains, endless hot water, washing machines, all the sanitizers and bleach, bedding and rags, paper towels, hydrating drinks and over the counter Walmart shopping, intelligent people who can follow directions for treating the family member, telephones and computers for outpatient help with video even, hospitals and house visits, we have so much of what is needed to help limit something like this.
Now you know why our ancestors left............
