Eleven New Deaths -- In Just A Week In Congo: Ebola Is Flaring Wildly... Without USAID On The Scene.


Be warned: we intend to keep harping on this, as the Manchurian Cantaloupe is affirmatively choosing to kill thousands of vulnerable people in Africa (with Ebola, Marburgs and mpox -- as well as cholera, and river sicknesses).

He and Musk gutted USAID -- likely lawlessly -- and now, globally. . . we will see thousands of excess deaths, from public health emergencies and epidemics. Here's the latest, from Reuters' tallies:

. . .Eleven new confirmed cases of Ebola were reported in Democratic Republic of Congo since the World Health Organization's last update on September 15, showing a decreasing trend of cases in the recent week, the UN health agency said on Wednesday.

As of September 21, a total of 58 cases, including 10 probable cases and 35 deaths were reported in Congo's Kasai Province, the WHO added. The total deaths included 10 probable deaths. . . .


This is truly an avoidable catastrophe -- and it will, decades from now -- be a large part of the critique written about Trump- and MAGA- "schools of thought".

Damn.

Yes. Insane, indeed.

There will likely be a shutdown -- as the big ugly bill... is a travesty:

...The memo noted that congressional Democrats are refusing to support a clean government funding bill “due to their partisan demands,” which include an extension of enhanced health insurance subsidies set to expire at the end of the year, plus a reversal of Medicaid cuts that were included in Republicans’ big tax and spending law....

A wide majority of the electorate backs the extensions and reversals -- Democrats are in the right, here.

That's a quote from your linked story. Insane. Indeed.

Namaste....
