Residents flee as suspected cases of Ebola outbreak in Congo grow

KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo — Ebola drove Kevin Balenge, his wife and three children to get to this capital city as fast as they could to try to outrun a suspected new outbreak.

“We can’t stay here because there are no hospitals, and once you get the virus you simply die,” said Balenge, from Bas-Uele province in the north of the country, about 51 hours away from Kinshasa.

WHO Suspects A Fourth Person Died Of Ebola In Congo
Aid workers are having trouble accessing the remote region in the country’s north.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-healt ... SKBN18H0YY

A fourth person has likely died from Ebola in remote northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the World Health Organization said on Sunday, as the overall number of cases rose to 37 from 29.

Of the 37 cases of hemorrhagic fever discovered since early May, two have been confirmed as Ebola, three, including the latest death, are considered probable and 32 are suspected, WHO's Congo spokesman Eugene Kabambi told Reuters.

Health authorities are monitoring 416 people who came into contact with sufferers and have dispatched mobile laboratories to the zone to more quickly test people who display symptoms, Kabambi said.

Could pigs be involved in Congo's new Ebola outbreak?
By Kai Kupferschmidt, Jon CohenMay. 26, 2017 , 1:30 PM
It might all just be a big coincidence. But scientists and public health officials are investigating whether pigs are somehow involved in the Ebola outbreak now underway in a remote region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). If so, it would add a new—but not totally unexpected—chapter to the virus's turbulent history....

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vox_mundi', '[')b]White House Announces It Has No Global Health Security Chief the Day After Ebola Outbreak Declared

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]The White House announced today that Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer, who sat on the National Security Council and was the senior director for global health security and biothreats, left the Trump administration on Tuesday, and HuffPost reports that Ziemer’s office doesn’t exist anymore, with his staff being rerouted to other NSC departments. Great news.

According to HuffPost, Ziemer leaving came “amid a reshuffling” by new national security advisor and NSC head John Bolton ...

The news comes just one day after the World Health Organization announced a new outbreak of Ebola after two new cases were confirmed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the past five weeks, HuffPost reported yesterday, the Central African country has seen 17 people die with Ebola-like symptoms.

It is unclear in his absence who at the White House would be in charge of a pandemic,” Ziemer’s predecessor, Beth Cameron, told HuffPost. Added Jeremy Koyndyk, who previously led the Obama administration’s response to the 2014 Ebola crisis: “I hope it’s not lost on anyone that it happened the exact week that we have new reports on the Ebola outbreak.”

Ebola Returns To Congo Just as Trump Asks to Rescind Ebola Funds

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '.').. “The last outbreak occurred approximately at the same time of year, and it appears that these outbreaks are occurring with greater frequency,” says Anne Rimoin from UCLA, who has worked in the Congo for 16 years. That could be because the Congolese are getting better at detecting the disease, “but there is some evidence that this outbreak appears to have been smoldering for a few months,” Rimoin adds. “Perhaps the ecology is changing, and it has something to do with the reservoir species.” She means the animals that harbor the Ebola virus—bats are likely candidates, but the exact species is still a mystery.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')size=150]Just as news of the Ebola outbreak broke, Donald Trump asked Congress to rescind $252 million that had been put aside to deal with Ebola, as part of a broader move to cut down on “excessive spending.”[/size]

That pot of money is the leftover from a $5.4 billion sum that Congress appropriated for dealing with the West African Ebola epidemic in 2015.

Image
http://trumpgolfcount.com/#page-top http://trumpgolfcount.com/displayoutings

That epidemic ended two years ago, but “having some money left over was intentional,” says Ron Klain, the former Ebola czar. It allows USAID to quickly deploy responders to the site of a future outbreak, to prevent it from metastasizing into an international disaster. It is not, as the Trump administration suggests, an example of “irresponsible federal spending.” Quite the opposite: It’s a savvy investment, since epidemics are always more expensive to deal with once they rage out of control.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')i]“If Congress accepts Trump’s proposal, USAID will have no funding for a response when the next crisis comes,” says Klain, “and it will have to wait until Congress passes new funding, or diverts funds from some other, then-existing disaster response,” ... “It is crazily short-sighted to do this.”

CDC To Cut By 80 Percent Efforts To Prevent Global Disease Outbreak

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')our years after the United States pledged to help the world fight infectious-disease epidemics such as Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is dramatically downsizing its epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries because money is running out, U.S. government officials said.

The CDC programs, part of a global health security initiative, train front-line workers in outbreak detection and work to strengthen laboratory and emergency response systems in countries where disease risks are greatest. The goal is to stop future outbreaks at their source.

Two weeks ago, the CDC began notifying staffers and officials abroad about its plan to downsize these activities, because officials assume there will be “no new resources,” said a senior government official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss budget matters.

Countries where the CDC is planning to scale back include some of the world’s hot spots for emerging infectious disease, such as China, Pakistan, Haiti, Rwanda and Congo.

Donald Trump Says Ebola Patients Should Be Barred from U.S.

The Next Deadly Pandemic Could Be Unlike Any Threats We Know

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]We've been looking in the wrong place.

"[There's] a lot of focus on diseases that aren't going to be able to change civilisation in a way that something that's spread through the respiratory route would be."

The kinds of diseases Adalja is talking about – things like Zika virus and Ebola – are extremely serious threats to public health, but in terms of pathogens that could pose a global catastrophic biological risk (GCBR), they're not as severe as biological agents that can freely disperse through the air we breathe.

That's the conclusion of a new report led by Adalja and released by the Johns Hopkins Centre for Health Security, which looks at the characteristics of pandemic pathogens.
“There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.” ― Leonardo da Vinci

Insensible before the wave so soon released by callous fate. Affected most, they understand the least, and understanding, when it comes, invariably arrives too late.

<yawn>

The existence of panic on your part, does not constitute an emergency on our part.

Gain a sense of perspective on this matter. Ebola deaths in the worst epidemics so far recorded, have never reached 1% of the annual death rate from the common strains of influenza.

"Ebola has the potential to go pandemic. Thats the point.". And you make my point: today Ebola is not a pandemic. That term is just used to hype the situation. Ebola today accounts for a very small % of those global deaths from such problems. And many of those other deaths are preventable.

The Ebola superhighway: Why the new outbreak terrifies public health authorities
BY REID WILSON - 05/19/18 09:27 AM EDT

The new case in Mbandaka has raised the alarm among public health officials because it is the first time the virus has ever landed in a city that sits directly on the Congo River.

In all eight of the previous known Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the virus has been contained within remote jungle villages or relatively small towns, where isolated populations are less likely to spread the disease.

But the Congo River is effectively the region’s highway system. Barges and boats travel from Kisangani in the east through major cities including Bumba, Mbandaka — and eventually Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC and home to more than 11 million people, as well as Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo.

“The Congo River connects three national capitals and multiple other large cities,” said Jeremy Konyndyk, who served as head of USAID’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance during the 2014-2015 outbreak. “The fact that there are now several cases in an urban center of more than a million people underscores the potential for this outbreak to get out of control.”

If the Ebola virus traveled upriver from Bikoro to Mbandaka, some officials wonder, has it also traveled downstream toward Kinshasa, which offers direct air traffic to cities including Brussels, Paris, Dubai and Lagos, Nigeria?

“We don't know what's happening along the river, because the river is used by a lot of barges,” said Pierre Rollin, one of the world’s leading experts on the Ebola virus at the CDC. “None of the outbreaks have been by the river or in the big towns. So we have a lot of caution before claiming we know what's going on.”
*****************
The West Africa Outbreak told us that Ebola could run out of controle very fast... and Ebola landed in US and Europe.

If Kinshasa is hit by Ebola may all Gods protect us..
