When Trust Becomes the Real Contagion: Why Congo's Ebola Fight Is Slipping
The Ebola outbreak in Congo isn't just spreading because of a virus -- it's spreading because the people who can stop it are increasingly afraid to do their jobs. The WHO now warns that despite containment efforts, the outbreak is accelerating, and the missing ingredient isn't medicine. It's trust.
