Eighty percent of new Ebola cases in eastern Congo are emerging from unknown chains of transmission, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, a sign the outbreak is spreading faster than health officials can track despite an expanding response.
Congo has been battling an outbreak of a rare type of Ebola since May, with no approved treatment or vaccine. The Africa Centres for Disease Control says it is the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on the continent.
"Perhaps the most alarming finding is that many of the newly reported deaths are people who died in their communities without ever reaching a health facility and without receiving care," Chikwe Ihekweazu said after returning from Bunia, in Ituri province, one of the worst-hit cities. "And as of today, 80% of new cases are outside our contact lists and so are coming to us from unknown chains of transmission."
The outbreak, Ihekweazu said, "continues to outpace the response efforts."
As of Monday, at least 1,926 people have been infected, of whom 702 have died, in three provinces in Congo from the rare Bundibugyo virus, Congolese authorities said. Cases have also been confirmed in neighboring Uganda.

Per AI and sourced to the French governmemt...
“The worst year for Ebola was 2014, during the devastating West Africa epidemic. Across that single calendar year, the World Health Organization reported approximately 7,900 deaths out of more than 20,000 confirmed and suspected cases in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.”
Paging NPR.
Quick! Get the doctors plane tickets to the USA ASAP!!
The Party would love to bring entire villages here. Diseases and all.
Unless you’re just trying for terror, Ebola would be a lousy one to pick.
Per AI...
“Historical Context: While Ebola has a high case fatality rate (averaging about 50%, though it can range from 25% to 90%), it has historically caused far fewer global deaths compared to widespread respiratory pandemics because it requires direct, close-proximity contact to spread.”
You can bet they’re doing something that they think protects them but infects them
They can’t count past 700 ??? These guys should’ve been in charge of Covid.
Yellow journalism fear pron.
Literally not the worst outbreak, but NPR is about as ignorant as they come and ignores history.
Also, one of the easiest diseases and places on earth to manage, total quarantine except for real medical / humanitarian aid, isolate completely and it burns out.
They could be hanging out with ebola corpses for some bizarre reason.
Where is St. Fauci the Divine?Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
That happens when a primitive culture has a tradition of hugging its dead at funerals and then fights anyone who tries to stop them from doing that. Fortunately Ebola has a high burn rate and can’t be easily brought here due to the travel time. Let the natives deal with it their way and let’s stay out of it.
Pre-shadows the “Pale Horse” which should silence the scoffers.
Oh definitely!
If POS Obama was president he would be importing hundreds of these Ebola infected, to be treated here with the excuse being “research” ..... Fauci style dangerous research.
Is everyone still hugging mom and dad when they die. Handling corpses is something more advanced civilizations have perfected. Still an issue in Africa.
So it’s ebola light?
Let’s send AOC on a fact finding trip.......have her take bernie sanders with her....get the millionaire democratic socialists point of view....
