It’s like a horror movie, with Ebola spreading like wildfire and health workers scrambling to contain the outbreak. Congo Ebola cases are rising quickly – to the tune of over 100 suspected deaths so far. It’s crazy, the virus has been causing chaos in eastern Congo, and now it’s spilling over into Uganda. Can you imagine? It’s a tough situation over there. Health workers are doing their best to control the spread, but distrust and armed conflict are making their job a whole lot harder. People are scared, and it’s not surprising – Ebola is a deadly disease that’s not to be trifled with. Why does this matter?
