Re: Interesting News Articles About Ebola

"Ebola outbreak in the Congo ‘should be a global emergency’"
says UK International Development Secretary and MP Rory Stewart in July 2019.
From an article in the UK Daily Mail, published 9 July 2019:

  • The MP said the outbreak environment is 'very dangerous' after a two-day visit
  • Health officials have rejected a declaration of global emergency three times
  • Mr Stewart said to do so would help raise urgently needed cash
  • Funding gaps mean current measures to control the spread could be halted

A vaccine is available, but antiviral drugs are still needed to treat people who are among those still contracting the disease. I hope the OET project will have helped to discover such drugs.

The last WCG News about OET is dated 3 Oct 2018 - Outsmart Ebola Together Ends Current Phase of... Additional Collaborators
"Urgently needed cash", as mentioned above, may be the reason we haven't heard from the OET researchers since then. sad
