Ebola will be confirmed to have spread to the USA by December 31, 2026

A new strain of Ebola, Bundibugyo, is rapidly spreading in Central Africa, leading the WHO to declare a public health emergency. Concerns are rising in the U.S. about its potential spread, with an American already infected in Congo and a former CDC director predicting cases in the US. The U.S. has implemented travel restrictions and airport screenings, though efforts to establish overseas quarantine facilities have faced setbacks.
