There's a new illness with symptoms similar to flu in DR Congo. Of the 300+ infections, 79 people have died – a death rate of about 25%. And an unusual percentage of victims are teens. We need to assist public health professionals in DR Congo ASAP.
If it spreads to the US, we will soon have Donald Trump's public health quacks dealing with it.
