Ebola Watch

Ebola Watch is your daily six-minute briefing on the Ebola outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. Every weekday, we track confirmed case counts and suspected cases separately, follow WHO situation reports out of Geneva, and translate the science into plain language for anyone with a reason to pay attention — whether you're a global-health professional, an aid worker in the region, or an American with a flight booked to East or Central Africa.We cover cross-border contact tracing between Kinshasa and Kampala, vaccine deployment from the WHO emergency stockpile, treatment center conditions reported by Doctors Without Borders, and the diplomatic friction shaping the public-health response. You'll hear what the CDC outbreak alert actually says — not what social media is amplifying. We distinguish confirmed EVD cases from probable and suspected, and we flag when a rumor is a rumor. No panic, no stigma, no community smearing. Just accurate, on-time Ebola outbre
