And this week, we need to think about Ebola and the crumbling global health infrastructure.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is in the throes of one of the largest Ebola outbreaks in the history of the African continent.
Nearly half of those who have contracted the virus have died.
Since the outbreak began in May, the international community has been playing a game of catch-up.
But perhaps it should have seen this coming.
On the day President Trump returned to office in 2025, the administration issued a 90-day freeze on foreign aid.
In February of that year, they eliminated 90% of the USAID foreign aid contracts before they finished dismantling USAID a few months later.
The shuttering sent shockwaves through the international aid community.
The resources the U.S.
was withdrawing weren't just good PR.
They were critical to the public health of poorer nations.
And now, as Ebola ravages the Congo, advocates say that this is exactly the sort of outbreak that money and coordination was intended to contain.
How will this outbreak end?
And could this level of catastrophe have been avoided?
With me to discuss is my colleague, Hana Quiros, who's been covering the decimation of the U.S.
's global health aid and the current Ebola outbreak.
Let's get to questions.
Hana, thanks so much for joining me today.
When we spoke at the office maybe about a month ago, there had been roughly 500 deaths from Ebola on the African continent to that point.
Now there are roughly 1,500.
