Support is provided, but detection occurred somewhat late. Probably because there has been conflict in the region and people are living without proper health care.
Cures still don’t exist. Current vaccines likely don’t work or have very low efficacy. It’s not the Zaire strain, but the Bundibugyo strain.
If the published numbers represent an unbiased sample (unlikely), it seems like the current strain might have lower mortality or longer incubation time. That would be a bad thing. A disease that kills nearly everyone infected and kills them fast, is self-limiting. This current version of Ebola might not be as self-limiting as the previous ones. Fortunately it remains clumsy at spreading and there is no shortage of protective equipment in the world. Equipment will be sent.
Since it’s in everyone’s interest to get the epidemic contained, I think it will be contained.
unfortunately the country with the most resources in the world no longer knows whats in its own interest or at least it only cares for the interest of a very small minority.
