Four people have died from Ebola in a new outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the countrys health ministry confirmed on Monday.
It comes as Health Minister Eteni Longondo confirmed a new case of the deadly virus in the western province of Equateur, over 1,000km (620 miles) away from the ongoing outbreak in the country's east.

(18,672 posts)The US used to take leadership and send resources. Trump doesn't want to do jack shit because he is too stupid to understand that to prevent something like this from hitting our shores, you have to stop it in its tracks. I think mostly it's he just doesn't care.

Hopefully China will give them the adequate resources they need.
Knowing Donny Dumbfuck he is likely to try and fly in some patients here to show he can do better than Pres. Obama did and then end up killing 5,000,000 Americans.
In a month.
