## Resource

Ebola is spreading fast in the Democratic Republic of Congo — a U.S. citizen has tested positive, sparking a massive CDC response as over 1,800 cases and 600 deaths have been confirmed, with the virus now reaching Uganda. Compounded by conflict, mistrust, and lack of protective gear, healthcare workers are battling a rare, untreatable strain. But hope arrives with new clinical trials underway — and the U.S. is asking Congress for $1 billion to tackle this deadliest outbreak yet.
