This Deadly Ebola Outbreak Is Almost Entirely Our Fault
The ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda has been declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization. The outbreak has resulted in at least 220 deaths and over 900 suspected cases, with concerns that the actual numbers may be much higher due to inadequate testing. Cuts to U.S. foreign aid have severely weakened the local health response, exacerbating the crisis.
