Never again, I hope.
Watching incompetent rich countries guzzle vaccine supplies so they could get back to partying while HCW waited in poorer countries was one of the key low points in the pandemic.

Of course the latest BDBV situation report is from WHOAFRO and not WHO central, and of course that's on a different site, and of course it's not a DON, and why would it be under Emergencies/Situation Reports....the internal politics and silos.

2. The #Ebola case count in Uganda stands at 2 confirmed; 1 has died. The 2nd confirmed patient is the wife of the current index case, who died. At least 3 other people are ill. Lots of contacts, in a number of different places. #WHOAFRO suggests the risk of spread elsewhere is high.

This week in Brazzaville, we convened the Filovirus Disease Optimized Supportive Care workshop with clinicians, researchers, and response partners.
The goal is simple: better, more standardized care that improves survival-wherever outbreaks occur.

First one was 18MAY. Something with lab location, setup, and function details explaining specimen backlogs would be really interesting to read.
