On May 15, 2026 an outbreak of the Bundibugyo ebolavirus was reported to be ongoing in the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and it has a spread to a few nearby areas both in the Congo and in Uganda. This is form of Ebola is closely related to the Zaire ebolavirus and has no approved vaccine or medicine for the Bundibugyo virus. Not to help matters, it has been said that the outbreak was detected a lot later then it should've been so the contagion has had time to infect more people.

As of the time of posting these are the figures on the total Ebola cases and deaths from it in this outbreak:

The Bundibugyo ebolavirus was discovered in the late 2000s in Bundibugyo District of western Uganda and has been seen in prior outbreaks but not to this scale. It's important to also note that the Ituri province where the epidemic began has an ongoing low-intensity ethnic conflict, a humanitarian displacement crisis from the aforementioned conflict and a populace who has shown hostility to medical personnel.

There was an article citing a former CDC scientist who says this is going to be the next global pandemic. I guess it's time for Shit Test v2.0, and this one actually is deadly, so the government knows it'll get all the compliance it wants.

Not sure if this is the correct article but here is one featuring some comments from ex-CDC director Robert Redfield:
The virologist, who spearheaded the agency during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Wednesday that he suspects that outbreak will be “very disruptive,” adding it’s “moving very rapidly.”

The Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda are battling the spread of the rare Ebola strain, Bundibugyo, with 575 suspected cases and 148 suspected deaths already reported, according to the CDC.

But Redfield, 74, suspects the outbreak is “gonna become a very significant pandemic, probably going to leak into Tanzania, leak into Southern Sudan, maybe leak into Rwanda.”

“Normally we recognize them when we have five, ten cases, you know, at most,” he said. “This one really wasn’t picked up until there was over 100 cases. As you said, now there’s over 500 cases. There’s close to 150 deaths already, and it’s moving very rapidly.”

The London-based MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis has estimated the true number of cases could be more than 1,000.

“The true magnitude remains uncertain,” it said

The infection marks the 17th Ebola outbreak in the DRC since 1976 – with the most recent ending in December 2025, according to the CDC.

There is no absolute cure for Bundibugyo and World Health Organization special adviser Dr. Vasee Moorthy warned it could take six to nine months for a vaccine to become available.

But Redfield spoke about an “experimental vaccine that’s been in trials.”

Despite the virus spreading in pockets of Congo, schools and churches are open – with only some people wearing masks.

Its not. Ebola is easily prevented by basic hygiene, and not engaging in ritualistic cannibalism with dead bodies. Which is what Congo Africans do.

So if you wash your hands and dont eat bits and pieces of a dead body, you will be okay. Neither situation however is done in the Congo.
 
I can't think of a reason to worry about this until it breaks out of those shithole countries.

Honestly I'd welcome anyone to give me a solid reason to worry, but virile disease spread within the borders of a few thirdy nowheres does not raise the 'global pandemic potential' heckles on my neck.

I was onto Coronavirus by November '19. Something about it just felt wrong. This? Meh.

What makes this different?

>Has been known for 1.5 decades
>Spread information is limited due to ooga boogas spearing da whitey data collector mayn

'I don't get it' but literally.

Ebola is only a problem because niggers are retarded.
They will luterally attack the doctors treating them because they want to eat pieces of their dead infected relatives (thus further spreading the infection)

Its like with aids where niggers and gays are superspreaders because they cant just stop fucking everything that moves for 5 minutes.
 
Monkey eating monkeys get another case of Ebola. Quelle surprise!

The only sad part about this is, that we still feel to need to intervene. Cancel all flights to this shit hole of a country, let this shit spread, and hope that the survivors were on the better end of the gene pool.

Right, and that's where I'm at with this. Unique virality that might suggest it'll spread strongly in other populations? Nah. Just nigger shit, like usual.

The hantavirus scare didn't caught as the expected so they test this time with ebola. Just in time for the midterms and the 2027 French presidential elections.

80% of their food is imported aid. The population is 10x levels they could sustain, which is an increasing problem when you have 1.5+ billion africans supported by a couple hundred million Western taxpayers.

To paraphrase an african philosopher: In a gibs-filled society, it is not enough to not provide foreign aid. We must actively block outside aid.

In my scenario all aid and communication is cut off as well.
