Ebola is back – can it be contained? Back. The World Health Organization announced Friday that it hopes to deploy an experimental vaccine against the developing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, even as the agency plans for the “worst case scenario.”There have been 32 probable and suspected cases of the deadly hemorrhagic fever reported since April 4, including 18 deaths, according to WHO.

Another is, reportedly, nose bleeds.The Yahoo report said the first known cases in the United States popped up in Ohio in 2018, and the virus reportedly “spreads easily through blood, urine and feces.” And, unfortunately, it appears to be fatal in 90 percent of cases. And, it said, it’s “highly infectious and nearly always fatal.”Well, according to a report in the Sacramento Bee, a man in Texas had 200 rabbits.

The victims died May 18 but test results confirming Ebola only came back over the weekend, according to Congolese Health Minister Dr. Eteni Longondo. But by the time officials were ready to go, the infection had been contained by traditional measures such as quarantine and contact tracing.For Ron Klain, who served as Ebola czar under President Barack Obama during the last major crisis, the question is why there aren’t already “standing arrangements in place” between WHO and the DRC to deploy the vaccine following last year’s outbreak.“The fact that, in two consecutive outbreaks, in two consecutive years, this process is starting from scratch is problematic, and puts health care workers particularly at risk,” Klain told HuffPost in an email.After all, vaccine deployment is a logistical feat in itself. Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus with a fever, sore throat, muscular pain, and headaches. On 14 May 2020, the Ministry of Health began the 42-day countdown to the declaration of the end of that outbreak. That outbreak ultimately killed some 11,300 people and infected 28,600 across West Africa.
And, not just for humans. The Ebola vaccine needs to be kept at extremely cold temperatures of negative-60 to negative-80 degrees Celsius at all times in order to be effective ― a tall order when transporting it to a remote area without much electrical or other infrastructure.It takes 15 hours by motorbike to arrive at the outbreak area from the nearest town outside that area, according to Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior policy fellow for the Washington-based Center for Global Development who previously led parts of the 2014 Ebola response for the Obama administration.Salama said that WHO is working to mobilize the “cold chain” logistics by the weekend and that Gavi, the public-private international Vaccine Alliance, will pay for the vaccine’s deployment if the DRC approves its use.Even when the proper logistics are in place, effective distribution will require extensive tracing of the individuals the infected patients came in contact with.
