Here's the latest -- but detecting 71 new cases, found at wholly-new monitoring stations -- on foot, in the deeply forested / mountainous regions of Ituri -- cases not directly connected to any previously known cases. . . indicates this will almost certainly be the worst ever Ebola outbreak, in recorded history.
To be certain, the dying is very far from being arrested in and around DRC. Dammit -- it did not have to be like this. From the WHO, then:
. . .Seventy-one confirmed Ebola cases have been identified since the start of the outbreak through surveillance points supported by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), as continued transmission, displacement and a USD 59.8 million regional funding shortfall threaten efforts to contain the outbreak. Nearly half of this funding gap is concentrated in the DRC, raising concerns about the ability to sustain critical oversight and preparedness efforts across the region.
"Ebola screening cannot stop at hospitals or official border crossings,” said Frantz Celestin, IOM Regional Director for East, Horn and Southern Africa. “People need timely access to health information and services wherever they live and travel, including displacement sites and remote border communities. Sustaining these efforts is essential to detecting cases early and limiting further transmission. . . ."
Obviously, as we pointed out just yesterday morning -- people who ran waxing salons in US airports will NOT be up to the task of running diagnostic kits in the harsh mountain brushland deep inside rebel / conflict territories, in DRC.
They've likely never even truly "roughed it / camped out", in their entire lives. But Trump's fail sons never met a grift they would pass up. Another $40 million bribe payoff, wasted, from taxpayer funds. Without serious question, there will be excess Ebola deaths, because of the US / Trumpian corruption.
Dammit. Out.
