Okay, folks, here we go again. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is serving up its seventeenth Ebola outbreak since 1976. SEVENTEENTH! You'd think they'd have this whole thing figured out by now, right? The World Health Organization (WHO), fresh from its star turn in the COVID-palooza, has declared it a 'public health emergency of international concern.' Because, of course, they did.

So, what's the deal this time? Apparently, it's the Bundibugyo virus, which is allegedly less lethal than the OG Ebola, but still packs a punch, killing about a third of those infected. No vaccines, no treatments. Just good old-fashioned quarantine and hope. Sounds about right for 2026.

Now, here's where the story gets interesting. Turns out, the Eastern DRC has been embroiled in a never-ending conflict. Shocking, I know. This means people are displaced, living in squalor, and can't access healthcare. So, when Ebola rolls into town, it's like throwing a Molotov cocktail into a gas station. What could possibly go wrong?

But wait, there's more! Remember those glorious days when Trump was draining the swamp? Well, one of the things he did was cut funding to various international organizations, including the WHO. And guess what? The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is now whining that these cuts hampered their Ebola preparedness efforts. Cue the tiny violin.

Of course, the US criticizing the WHO is like the pot calling the kettle black, especially after pulling out of the organization and taking away its funding. But hey, at least they're offering 'emergency-response funding' now. Better late than never, I guess. Unless you're one of the 139 suspected dead. Then it's just too late.

Bottom line? The DRC is a mess, the WHO is a joke, and we're all just one poorly funded pandemic away from total societal collapse. Is this the new normal? Endless outbreaks, wars, and globalist bureaucrats telling us what to do? Maybe it's time to start investing in that bunker in Montana. Just sayin'.

Maybe they need to implement a travel ban to the Congo? Or is that racist? I can't keep up anymore.

Meanwhile, the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board is warning that infectious diseases are becoming more common due to the climate crisis and war... and endless woke virtue signaling.
