🚨BREAKING: @WHO *finally* declares the #Ebola outbreak in #Congo as an international health emergency.

LONG OVERDUE, as >1,600 people have died since Aug'18 in the 2nd-deadliest #EbolaOutbreak ever, and the virus just spread to a city of 2 million.😱

apnews.com/204fc739fc5846…
@WHO WHO was horribly slow in responding to the West Africa #Ebola outbreak that killed >11,000. WHO repeatedly declined to declare an emergency until #Ebola was spreading explosively in 3 countries & 1,000 people died. WHO feared it would "anger the countries & hurt their economies."
@WHO I spent nearly a decade working to develop an effective treatment for #Ebola & other hemorrhagic fever viruses. Deadly outbreaks are becoming MORE frequent and are killing MORE people. #Congo + other affected countries need help NOW‼️

🚨George Nader–arranged Erik Prince's #Seychelles backchannel meeting with #Russia🇷🇺and UAE–hit with superseding #indictment for sex trafficking, child porn. Nader allegedly raped a 14yo boy + had “hands-on contact with more than a dozen minor boys.”🤢🤮

In 2016, Nader attended a meeting arranged by Erik Prince with *DON JR* and Joel Zamel (#Israel's PsyGroup, expert in "social media manipulation"), where they offered to help **THROW THE ELECTION** to @realDonaldTrump.🤬

@realDonaldTrump Nader also worked for worked for *more than a year* to turn Elliott BROIDY (convicted felon, former top @GOP/ RNC/Trump fundraiser) into “an instrument of influence” on TRUMP on behalf of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.🙄

🚨2nd-largest #Ebola epidemic has killed >1,500 & is spreading toward large population centers.

John Bolton *eliminated* the position of global health security on the National Security Council.🤬

It’s not “if” it’s WHEN these deadly viruses threaten US‼️

Congo and #Uganda do not have the resources needed to combat #Ebola and NEED our help NOW.

I’ve worked for nearly a decade to develop an effective treatment for Ebola and other deadly viruses. It’s not “if” it’s WHEN these deadly viruses threaten US‼️

🚨Deadly #Ebola outbreaks are increasing in frequency and severity, in part, due to human encroachment on remote sites harboring #Ebola and more frequent/distant travel.

This isn’t going to change, unless we take action NOW.

🔥Roy Moore says that Muslims should NOT be allowed to serve in Congress.🤬

When asked why not, Moore’s spokesman Ted Crockett: “Because you have to swear on the Bible.”

@JakeTapper: You don't actually have to swear on a Christian Bible.

Crockett: 😲🤯

@jaketapper You have got to watch this clip until the end. This is Roy Moore's **spokesman** who is PAID to go on TV. Priceless.🤣

@jaketapper Hat tip to @atrupar for digging up this clip. Totally priceless!🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣

BREAKING NEWS: The IHR Emergency Committee recommended @DrTedros to declare the #Ebola outbreak in #DRC as a public health emergency of international concern: Chairperson Robert Steffen
The declaration of the Public Health Emergency of Intl Concern is not a reflection on the performance of the #Ebola response team in #DRC. It is a measure that recognizes the possible increased natl & regional risks & the need for intensified & coordinated action to manage them.

#Ebola thread: Sorry this is so late; another disease demanded my attention. And the news here is so routinely awful I barely know where to start. This outbreak is really, really not going well.
Here's what I see:
2. @MinSanteRDC reports +14 cases today. This reporting week is 2 days old & there have already been 22 #Ebola cases. They also report 10 deaths, 7 of them community deaths. The people who looked after those dying patients will be cases themselves in the next week or 2. Fact.
3. So the outbreak totals are now 1168 cases & 741 deaths. After the West African outbreak (admitted still far, far bigger) I naively thought the world would never let an #Ebola outbreak get big again.
I was wrong.
