WHO warns Ebola could reach deadliest levels
The World Health Organization has reported that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo could become one of the most severe and well-known outbreaks in history, with more than 11,000 deaths expected out of over 28,000 cases. The organization’s Director-General stated that the outbreak is following a worse trajectory than a previous epidemic in West Africa (2014-2016), and that it began before the official announcement in May, having actually started in February. This outbreak is different because it is caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, which has no approved vaccines or treatments, and it is rapidly spreading in a remote eastern region of the country that is experiencing ongoing conflict along its borders with neighboring countries.
