KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — The number of suspected Ebola cases in Congo’s southern Kasai province have more than doubled in a week since a new outbreak was confirmed there, Africa’s top public health agency said Thursday.
The suspected cases have increased from 28 to 68 in recent days, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at an online briefing. It has also spread from two to four districts while the death toll currently stands at 16.
This is really not a good time for this. At least they don’t have RFK in charge. Though, if it gets here, we may end up being told to prevent the spread by eating organic foods or something.
