Ebola: How worried should I be about planned relocation to DRC?

I was hoping people would be telling the OP that they are falling for the hype and that it's just the media overselling it...

Unfortunately, I was very wrong. I don't care for the amount of knowledge and concern in one place. The year is already so exhausting. Oil is going to probably be rationed in the future, inflation is taking off, the president told farmers who couldn't afford their normal groceries that they are wrong because the stock market is doing well, and crop failures are going to compound with the fertilizer shortage come next year. This just feels like... Too much.

This sub is turning worthless. Guy asks about diseases in another country he's relocating too.
Top comment "Orange man bad".

Just talking about things that are factually true and happening. Sorry I don't step on eggshells just because the reason some of the problems exist happens to be a politician for one party or another.

If you don't think that the oil shortage, fertilizer shortage, and lack of general care from the current administration is worry of keeping an eye on and preparing for outcomes of, then you probably don't belong in a sub centered around information and preparedness.

The topic is Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo.

How is your comment relevant to the topic?

It’s all meticulously planned. You’re undergoing a psychological operation designed to overwhelm your nervous system to the point of disassociation, effectively breaking your will to resist. This will enable them to escalate their agenda until it becomes a full blown crisis, leaving you clueless about how to respond when the government starts ripping you from your homes, stealing your possessions, and killing your family. Wake up! We’re in this shit and it’s about to get worse.

The Proletariat is armed to the teeth. It's just stupidly complacent. So things aren't bad enough now.

This is America. The proletariat IS armed.

I liked your words so much, I copied and pasted them into a note on my phone so i can re-read it, to myself... whenever I feel sad...bc noone fucking cares. My friends will occasionally say "bc it's all going to fucking shit" and then they get offended when I follow up. Same with my spouse. Just, thank you. Idk, I am feeling like my senses are begging me to just, fuck off, go be happy doing art, star gazing, and letting go.

Breathe. PACE your self. There's many more of us than there is of them. They fear us more than we should fear them.

Build community, seek help, just like you're doing. Practice learning to be calm. Find confidence. By building your courage. We'll be ok. Don't let the traitors win.

Nothing is okay. We are not ok. No one is stepping up. Our planet is screaming at us. I'm very confident it's fucked.

It’s endemic there’s but flares in pockets. Issue now is location at juncture point of 3 nations. That it has moved into chaotic, war torn South Sudan matters a lot I think as they can’t maintain any Public health infrastructure. Tonight an Air France flight was diverted to Montreal to remove a passenger from that region…..

Oh god it's in South Sudan now?? I hadn't read that. That is NOT good.

You are right. It’s at the common border but will move fast I fear.

Ebola is now the Trump virus.

I vote we put Ebola in a cage with Hantavirus and see who comes out on top. Of course, on this timeline they would merge and create something unstoppable, so never mind. I redact my statement.

DRC is just politically different, I think. Rwanda handled their outbreak a few years ago with incredible efficiency. But DRC sits at an area that commonly deals with spillover events and also has had a lot of political instability that makes people suspicious of the government. Does anyone remember when armed groups were storming the Ebola treatment centers during their last large outbreak? Unfortunately, political stability is a big factor in containing spread.

I’d be cautious with coming into bodily fluids. But that’s an always thing for me 😂

I’m not worried now based on locations and transmission routes. Ftr, I was full on panic by end of Jan 2020.
