Quite the interview with the WHO director-general re: Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo:

“He recalled a discussion he had with some community leaders who pressed him on why the world only cares about their region when there is an Ebola outbreak underway. With long-standing conflict, hundreds of thousands of displaced people, widespread hunger, and a multitude of diseases that kill more frequently than Ebola does, the conclusion some have reached is that the rest of the world only cares because it’s afraid Ebola will spread beyond the DRC’s borders.”

And you know, in too many cases, they are probably right.

Woran erinnert euch das?

"Unseren Teams werden die Särge weggenommen, die Menschen fassen ihre toten Angehörigen mit bloßen Händen an. Ein Teil der Bevölkerung leugnet die Existenz von #Ebola."

Ok so if “long ebola” resolves in 7 years in some people, there is hope for people with long covid.

From the link:

Question  What neurological symptoms are present in adult survivors of Ebola virus disease (EVD) and how long are they present after infection?
Findings  In this cohort study conducted in Liberia including 148 EVD survivors and 81 control individuals, survivors had a wide range of neurological symptoms during acute EVD (including headaches, altered mental status, and meningitis symptoms) and numerous neurological sequelae in convalescence (including headaches, memory loss, and neurological examination abnormalities). Seven years later, most survivors’ symptoms and findings had improved, but many still had neurological symptoms, most notably memory loss.
