The virus, Bundibugyo strain, has no vaccine or approved treatment, and with 837 confirmed cases and 196 deaths, officials fear the real toll is far higher. The outbreak, which began in May and was only declared weeks later, has spread across provinces and into Uganda, fueled by displacement, conflict, and rugged terrain that makes contact tracing nearly impossible. With tens of thousands still unaccounted for and a warning from Africa’s CDC that this could become the worst outbreak on record, the world watches as containment efforts race against time — and the inspiring recovery of this mother and son offers a glimmer of resilience in the face of devastation.
