Summary
WHO chief Tedros lands in Congo’s Ebola epicenter as Bundibugyo virus spreads faster than responders can contain it—over 900 suspected cases, 200+ deaths, no vaccine or treatment yet. Local anger over burial restrictions fuels attacks on clinics, while rebel violence blocks aid. EU delivers supplies, U.S. pledges $112M, but travel bans and border closures—warned by Tedros as counterproductive—threaten transparency. He reaffirms Congo’s past success and calls for global support, not isolation, to stop the outbreak. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
