@DrTedros @WHO

Yesterday I convened an Emergency Committee on the #Ebola outbreak in the #DRC and #Uganda. The Committee agreed that the situation is a public health emergency of international concern. @WHO assesses the risk of the epidemic as high at the national and regional levels, and low at the global level.

@greggsymonds @CTVToronto Just don't come in contact with his bodily fluids. I use the hell wouldn't!

@CTVToronto Why the concern with an ignorant public 🤔..

The World Health Organization, which noted a low risk globally, has said “patient zero” has not been found. on.nbc10.com/tYzbo04

A vaccine for the Ebola strain driving the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda is likely months away from human trials, and there is no guarantee it would work, WHO says. nbcnews.com/health/health-…

Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.

@ann_mcnitt @BarryHunt008 I don’t think we’re grasping how infectious it is. I just read that 1 viral particle is enough to cause severe illness (need primary source on that). It’s terrifying if it’s that easy to catch from skin contact with contaminated objects. Much harder to prevent than covid.

Ebola outbreak trajectory is nearly vertical 📈 From the start I've never seen this before 😳😳😳

@ann_mcnitt @BarryHunt008 Its not airborne transmitted.

@BarryHunt008 Aerosol transmission makes that trajectory possible.

🦠Ebola death toll rises as two Americans are flown to Europe for treatment There are now more than 600 suspected cases and 139 suspected deaths from the virus, mostly in Congo, the head of the World Health Organization said at a news conference Wednesday.

Engineered Probiotic Bacteria Show Promise Against Ebola Especially as a Prophylactic

To sum up: Up north, we got H5N1 (50% CFR) Down south, it's Ebola (50% CFR) SARS-CoV-2 is still circulating globally (1% CFR) Hantavirus is on pause till June (50% CFR) CDC has undergone significant downsizing WHO has been dragging its feet since 2020

This chart is extremely concerning. The 2026 Bundibugyo outbreak is already tracking above the early trajectory of the 2018 Kivu Ebola epidemic within days of declaration.

Airborne transmission of ebola MUST be considered, via vomiting, diarrhea, and cleaning. N95s and goggles, at a minimum. cidrap.umn.edu/ebola/commenta…

The Ebola outbreak in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo had caused 139 suspected deaths with nearly 600 suspected cases as of Wednesday, according to the latest update from World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. abcnews.link/ZWwAAfH

We have observed outbreaks of meningitis (lethality: up to 30%), hantavirus (up to 60%), and Ebola (up to 90%) in a few months this year. At this rate, we may observe the outbreak of a disease with 100% lethality in the summer.

A Portuguese worker involved in transporting MV Hondius passengers reportedly developed symptoms compatible with hantavirus infection before later testing negative.

I really wish we had a vaccine for the Ebola outbreak strain We do not Vaccines save lives!
