Well, the gentleman who's just spoken has put it very clearly that everyone's scared about the potential devastating effect of this virus because it was detected late. It was detected five days ago. Not really detected, but announced and declared an international concern around three days ago and first declared an outbreak five days ago by the Africa CDC. And the problem is the first case that is suspected to have happened in the epicenter of Bunia

is the case of a nurse who passed on. And when he was buried, no one knew about the virus. And you can imagine the African rituals for burial. At funerals is where most of the cases of transmission are suspected to happen. And so as it stands right now, around 543 cases, about 30 more cases overnight announced by the health minister of the DRC, and around 136 people dead.

One of the virologists that are leading WHO's charge in DRC right now, they're saying that the test kits are needed and needed urgently because at the moment one test kit can only do six patient tests an hour. And in a country that has almost 543 people suspected to have the virus and this number steadily climbing,

If you speak to experts, experts tell you that the good thing about what's happening right now, the brighter side of things, is that the DRC government, although detected late, are responding to this virus in the way they're supposed to. But the problem is that you can enhance screening in places, you can speak to the residents and try to educate them on the effects of this, but when the virus was announced as an outbreak five days ago, the minister said on television that

Instead of people running to hospitals after being infected, they run to the church because there's superstition and myths about the disease of Ebola being a case of witchcraft and that it's false. And this is part of the problem, that you have to deal with this information breakdown over time to try and deal with this virus right now. But people are, it depends where you're speaking from. If you speak in Kinshasa to people, they'll tell you that it's false.
