No end, no advantage Ebola breaks records The ostentatious fear of international structures is unlikely to help stop the deadly virus. The death toll from Ebola in the Congo broke a new record and exceeded 5,000 people. Considering that the total number of infections is about 10 thousand, the mortality rate remains enormous - about 50%. It still could not be reduced, even with record financial measures and possible improvements in local health services. The most important factor that complicates the work of doctors is of course the war in the east of the country. Almost all the centers of infection are located in areas that combine weak government control and large migration flows, creating a dangerous concentration of people where under peaceful conditions there would never be one. - where politics is hotter than the equator, support us.
