CDC breaks silence as mystery flu-like infection kills dozens of children and sparks Covid-era travel restrictions

The CDC is 'standing ready' amid an outbreak of a mystery disease in Africa.

There are rising concerns about the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where dozens of people have died from a flu-like respiratory illness.

A source at the CDC told DailyMail.com they were 'aware' of the outbreak and were in contact with health officials there 'and stand ready to provide additional support if needed'.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has deployed a team to the southwestern province Kwango where the outbreak is being reported to take samples and test for the virus.

DRC health minister Roger Kamba said his country was currently on 'maximum alert' as they try to work out what's behind the 'epidemic' that has killed up to 143 people.

Most patients were children in their late teens, officials said, who suffered from symptoms including a fever, headache, cough and shortness of breath.

The symptoms suggest a respiratory virus — and, already, parallels are being drawn to the early days of the Covid pandemic.

The CDC gets a lot of flak, but in the less political, pre-Covid days, they would quite often send vastly underpaid doctors into the worst places in the world to help stamp out the worst of diseases before they spread more broadly. A less political CDC is still important to our country.

CDC destroyed this country with its guidelines and will do so again as this couldn’t be a more obvious set up.

The left will do ANYTHING to prevent Trunp’s success.

this time, TOUGH.

No seperation.

If one gets it and dies, they die.

It’s enough.

Well, if we have an outbreak of Ebola, I don’t think that some doses of Ivermectin will do much of anything to stop it. You’ll just need to hurry up and get your final wishes put down in writing. But you won’t have to worry about people talking about how foolish your ideas were. You’ll be dead and won’t have to listen to it.

I would hope it can go back to that role.

Nothing good comes out of Africa: ebola, monkey pox, AIDS, HIV, trypanosomiasis, and "urban disease".

One day when Trump took office nature threw a big new virus at the world. Then when Trump was going to take office again then nature started spewing more new killer viruses.

And anyone one who believes that it is all about nature is dumber than a box of rocks. These are coming from labs. It is biological warfare used to control the masses.

“Less political”? By their own hand, their credibility is in the toilet, and they are all eaten up with DEI to the point that you can’t trust any of ‘em to be basically competent.

They don’t need a tune-up, they need to be obliterated like cancerous bone marrow and rebuilt with morally healthy NORMAL workers. Carefully, sparingly, efficiently.

Ditto numerous other Fed agencies.

Well, we WON’T have an outbreak if we control with an iron fist who we let into this country!

Have the lawyer politicians in D.C. announced they’ll be importing all the infected from the Congo to Kansas City?

I’m sure they still do this

I wasn’t scared of during COVID, and this doesn’t scare me either. Somehow Bill Gates is involved.

Travel restrictions from a country experiencing an epidemic?!?!

Wait!!!

Isn’t that supposed to be xenophobic? It was when Trump did it.
