Re: Leaked documents: Ugandan government expects explosion in Ebola cases
#2Leaked documents show the Ugandan government is not expecting the current Ebola outbreak to be contained, but rather expect it to spread rapidly into the deadliest in Ugandan history, killing 500 and infecting at least 1200 by May of next year.

#3I think the Telegraph article ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-diseas... ) that this blog post is based on is a better read. It makes clear that the idea that the outbreak will become "out of control" is from an anonymous source, not the leaked documents.

#4The headline is scary but #1 Ebola isn't airborne and #2 it's super deadly which means it kills before it really has a chance to spread widely.

#5This title made me wonder, what ever happened to monkey pox. Turns out that it has more or less died away.

It was handled well by global public health authorities, with education campaigns, targeted vaccinations, early warning, treatment, and growing immunity in the most at-risk populations.

It spread through multiple countries till it was contained at one outbreak with thousands of dead.

The hardest hit community was downright enthusiastic about the MPV vaccine. That makes a HUGE difference.

And the only reason it spreads is due to lack of education.

Additionally, most of the most-at-risk population has lived through the AIDS horror. A good gay friend of mine roughly summarized it as "we gays know how bad diseases can get, and fuck it my dating life even after 2 years of pandemic is not as important as is my life". Once it was clear that MSM were (once again) a high-risk group, they all went back to either reducing contacts or at least wearing condoms.
In contrast, the last time the general public has had an issue with a pandemic has been so long ago that deniers and downplayers had an easy game with their bullshit. Had wearing fucking masks not been that politicized, I'd wager a very good portion of the 6.6 million people that died to COVID would still be alive. And to come back to my gay friend, at least in his community there were almost no COVID cases.
