Episode Details

Ebola’s deadly return in Congo has shattered records—surpassing 1,000 deaths in just 66 days, faster than the 2014-2016 epidemic. Caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, with no vaccine or treatment available, the outbreak remains mostly contained within eastern Congo near Uganda, unlike the global spread of the previous outbreak. Officials report a 40% fatality rate, driven by delayed care, and warn the worst may still be ahead—thanks to an unknown patient zero, undetected contacts, and slow initial diagnosis.
