Episode Details

Ebola is surging in eastern Congo with over 3,800 cases and more than 1,700 deaths—fastest spread ever seen. Eighty percent of new cases are community-driven, not traced to known exposures, making containment nearly impossible. The WHO chief is heading to the region as researchers race to test treatments and vaccines for the deadly Bundibugyo strain, which has no approved therapies. Conflict, mistrust, and inaccessible areas compound the crisis, while healthcare workers face unpaid wages and danger—with over 100 already infected. Uganda, meanwhile, declared itself Ebola-free. Patient zero remains unknown, and displacement from violence and mining further scrambles contact tracing.
