Ebola Outbreak, Democratic Republic of Congo, Deborah Birx
Health officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo report over 200 deaths in a new Ebola outbreak, leading to flight suspensions and travel restrictions. Dr. Deborah Birx discusses the failure of the African CDC to detect the outbreak early despite hundreds of millions in global investment. Birx defends the Trump administration's funding levels, contradicting narratives that the dismantling of USAID led to the crisis.
