“If we don’t stop the outbreak very soon it will ​be worse than what ​we had in West Africa and eastern ‌DRC,” said Kaseya. The West Africa outbreak in 2014 killed over 11,000 people, while the 2018 outbreak in the Congo claimed almost 2,300 victims.

According to the latest update from the DRC health ministry, the current outbreak of the Ebola Bundibugyo strain includes 782 cases and 181 fatalities, which would not seem to be in a league with the horrifying death tolls from 2014 or 2018. However, one of the biggest problems with the current outbreak is that cases have been very difficult to diagnose and track due to political instability in the outbreak region and an often-uncooperative population.

Health officials fear the true number of cases and deaths could be much higher than the figures confirmed so far and, while the outbreak was officially declared one month ago, it began weeks or months before that.

So, Ebola is the governor that retards or stops migration to Europe

Africa CDC, WHO, every other country in the world, is doing what about it?
How much have they spent?

still waiting . . .

That’s what I thought.

Mot our Continent.
Not our problem.
Restrict entry into US from infected countries.

Maybe they could tighten their Belt & Road for a few Yuan.

With the World Cup ongoing in the US, I worry that some opportunistic terrorist will try to bring someone infected into the US.

Send Ebola to Mecca during the Hadj. It’ll spread to every Muslim hellhole in the world.

You can’t grasp the fact that many Muslims are American allies and in fact friends.

Your post is seriously misguided and likely based on ignorance of the world.

It’s all DOGE’s fault for turning off the USAID spigot.

The world is slowly becoming a Muslim hellhole. Far too many countries NOW that have large Muslim populations already.

Remember SA financed the 9/11 terrorists. They’re not our friends.

When fear of Hantavirus doesn’t sell, they switch to Ebola.
