Congo’s Ebola Fatality Doubles

KinshasaCongo’s Ebola deaths have topped 2,299, a record.

Nearly half of confirmed cases are now dying, up from a fifth in June.

The rising death rate reflects late detection and access failures, not a deadlier virus, Doctors Without Borders said.

No vaccine is approved for this Ebola species, and evidence stays limited to animal studies.
