Summary
A rare strain of Ebola is making headlines — but before you spiral, there's more to the story than what meets the eye. The Democratic Republic of Congo has successfully contained 15 previous outbreaks, and scientists are working around the clock on experimental treatments. We know one thing for certain: this is not the 2014–2016 outbreak. Plus: India is on its way to becoming the first major country in history to industrialize using solar energy; Hungary's new prime minister has proposed a constitutional amendment that would effectively bar his authoritarian predecessor Viktor Orbán from ever returning to power; and a 28-year-old woman from Chicago's South Side underwent a successful quadruple organ transplant — only the sixth of its kind in the United States. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and Kaleidoscope.
