## Resource

A sixteen-month-old baby and his mom have survived Ebola in eastern Congo — a major victory in an outbreak caused by a rare, untreatable strain. With 837 confirmed cases and 196 deaths, real numbers are likely higher since the outbreak began before detection. Forty-nine people have recovered since mid-May, including this resilient pair. The Bundibugyo virus, unlike the Zaire strain, has no vaccine or treatment. Cases are spreading across Ituri, North and South Kivu — even into Uganda — amid massive challenges: displaced populations, mobile miners, and thousands of exposed people still untracked. Africa’s CDC chief warns this could become the worst Ebola outbreak ever if containment doesn’t accelerate. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
