One public health expert told The Times he was surprised by the change.

Ebola has a high death rate, about 50 percent, and he said people's chances of getting through an infection would be higher in the specialized facilities.

The Times talked with an American doctor who got Ebola back in 2014 when he was treating patients in Guinea.

He was then brought home.

And he said he thought it was unlikely that the facility the Trump administration is setting up in Kenya could match the sophistication of what the U.S.

already has.

He called leaving Americans there, quote, a dramatic abdication of what we owe our own.

A White House spokesman declined to comment.

And one last update on the Trump administration.

Over his time in office, President Trump has upended a lot of funding for medical research.

Sometimes it's been only temporary, but The Times has been looking at what even a short pause can mean for that work.

My colleague Simar Bajaj dug into one research project in particular, where a biomedical engineer named Dr. James Antaki at Cornell University is trying to create an artificial heart for babies.

So very, very tiny, like the size of a AA battery.

Last year, the project seemed close to a big step, starting a clinical trial.

The doctor had the right team, a manufacturer ready to make the device, and an animal study lined up with sheep just the right size to model a baby's circulatory system.

Everything stopped, though, when the Trump administration temporarily froze a billion dollars in funding to the school amid a civil rights investigation.

And while Cornell later settled with the White House, Simmer said getting things going again has been hard.

In Iran, the government has started restoring internet access for tens of millions of Iranians.

They've been largely cut off since the war began three months ago.

The government claimed it was for national security reasons, but many people argued it was imposed to suppress communications and help the regime maintain control of the population.
