The Sudan Ebola virus has been known about since the 1970s and is a different disease from the Zaire Ebola virus. It’s less transmissible (good!) but unlike the Zaire virus we don’t have a vaccine that works against it (bad!).

Either the media will barely cover this story, or the Biden Junta will be sued by some left-wing group to end it...
