Why has this breakout been so difficult to contain?
And so you're talking about the DRC, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Where else in the region is it?
I know there were cases in Uganda.
Has it spread beyond the DRC or is it still primarily located in the DRC?
The West African Ebola outbreak in the 2010s, where something like 30,000 people were infected, over 11,000 people were killed.
What is different about this strain of Ebola?
When you mentioned patient zero, it's almost a reminder that these are individuals, right?
That make up these larger numbers.
Can you sort of humanize this for us?
What has that experience been like traditionally or historically during these outbreaks?
Yeah, to that point of people thinking that it's a hoax, how, you know, there is the hoax that leads people to a hesitancy to go to a doctor, to go and be seen, but there's also the sort of
mistrust that leads to an almost like anger, right?
This idea that maybe they're withholding something from us that could help people.
How are folks in the Congo sort of dealing with that and their response to the international community sort of attempts to help contain the spread?
Is there a sort of violent response to those efforts?
When we come back, Hana and I discuss the efforts to rebuild the global health infrastructure.

Scientists have estimated or believe that there's about a 50-50 chance of another COVID level pandemic materializing in the next 25 years.
