Episode Details

Ebola’s spreading fast in the DRC, with 896 confirmed cases and 232 deaths, including 21 new cases in just one day—mostly in conflict-hit Ituri, but also North and South Kivu. The Bundibugyo strain, which has no vaccine, is outpacing containment efforts, though WHO is scaling up: from zero to 500+ treatment beds and 2,000+ tests daily, tracking 75% of contacts. To truly win, they need to reach 95%. Meanwhile, Uganda reports 19 cases and two deaths, but a 12-day zero-new-case streak and 10 recoveries offer cautious hope. The race to stop Ebola is urgent, complicated by war zones and a virus that’s evolving faster than responders can adapt.
