Ebola Surge in Congo Outpaces Response | Lubbock News

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Ebola is surging in eastern Congo, with over 3,800 cases and more than 1,700 deaths—making it the second-largest outbreak ever—and officials still can’t identify patient zero. Contact tracing is failing, with 60-70% of new cases emerging within communities undetected. Conflict, mistrust, and attacks on health centers are crippling response efforts, while healthcare workers face infection and unpaid wages. Yet hope flickers: testing has exploded, and clinical trials for treatments and vaccines are underway, even as funding gaps and dangerous conditions persist.
