Ebola has killed more than 1,800 people in the Congo since last year. For the first time, two drugs seem to be saving lives.

USA TODAYIn this photo taken on Saturday, July 13, 2019, a nurse vaccinates a child against Ebola in Beni, Congo DRC. The World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak an international emergency after spreading to eastern Congo's biggest city, Goma, this week.The preliminary results of a clinical trial using drugs to treat Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been promising enough to stop the trial and prioritize their use instead.

The results are preliminary, said Anthony Fauci, a director with the National Institute of Health. About 30% people died if given the NIH or Regeneron drug, but when patients received treatment early, mortality was 6% with Regeneron and 11% with the NIH drug. About three-quarters of people who do not receive care for Ebola die, according to Michael Ryan of the World Health Organization.

The trial in the Congo was unprecedented, according to Nature, and tested multiple drugs in a conflict zone. The turmoil meant Ebola responders faced violent attacks that at times forced them to slow their efforts.

New York coroner 'confident' Epstein's death was suicide: New York TimesNew York City's chief medical examiner is confident Jeffrey Epstein died by... Jeffrey Epstein ran an international child sex trafficking ring. To identify him as a “disgraced financier” is a gross understatement. He did not merely commit financial crimes. It seems as if the narrative is being sanitized to tone down the emotional response. It's bc of things like Vince Foster that millions of people's 1st thought was Clintons got to Epstein.
