Episode Details

Ebola is racing through Congo at an unprecedented pace, now the second-largest outbreak in history with over 3,800 cases and 1,700 deaths — and no vaccine or treatment exists. With a deadly 45% fatality rate and new cases surging daily, frontline health workers are striking over unpaid wages, worsening access to care. One grieving resident blames the strikes for his brothers’ deaths, as contact tracing fails and late detection fuels the crisis. Despite 700 patients in isolation and nearly 750 recoveries, officials warn this outbreak could surpass even the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic if urgent action isn’t taken.
