Summary
Ebola’s surging through eastern Congo faster than ever, with over 6,800 cases and more than 3,300 deaths—threatening to eclipse the 2014-2016 West Africa outbreak. Ituri province is ground zero, but the virus is now spreading into North Kivu and Haut-Uele amid chaos: displaced populations, health worker strikes, and ongoing conflict with M23 rebels. Vaccination efforts are underway using the Ervebo shot (for a different strain) and testing a new Bundibugyo-specific vaccine, targeting newly affected zones first. But with only 70,000 doses available, containment is a race against time—and the odds are stacked against them. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
