False #EbolaReporting
To Media Houses in the Global North, perspective is key;
1. We are close to 50m of us living in Uganda. Only 15 cases of Ebola have been reported. Only one person died. The rest of us are living normally and responsibly.
2. There are more dying of violent crimes, civil war and traffic accidents in your countries than we are dying of Ebola
3. In your countries, you are contracting sexually transmitted diseases & NCDs faster than Ebola is spreading in Uganda
3. Our team of scientists & surveillance systems have built capacity to respond over decades of managing these situations. Has some respect for us.
4. Polite reminder-we coped better with Covid 19 than you did. Be humble
5. A simple online search will show you the geography of Uganda & DRC. Do the work

Uganda has reassured the public that its Ebola surveillance and response systems remain strong following the detection of an imported Ebola case recently from UAE.

It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.
So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.
As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.
Today had a productive call with @Dr_JeanKaseya Head of @AfricaCDC , and he agreed to correct the errors in their reporting on Ebola cases in Uganda. He also informed me that a regional center on pandemics response will be established in Uganda. Happy to learn Africa is taking lead in the fight against #Ebola
Subbed off Dembélé right before the 90th minute.
Subbed Kvaratskhelia.
Subbed Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz too, despite them being among the main penalty takers.
And did you see a single negative reaction from any of them? No complaints, no ego, no frustration. Just trust in the manager and commitment to the team.
That is exactly what Luis Enrique has built at PSG - a real team before individuals. A dressing room fully connected to the manager and the system 🤝
Back-to-back Champions Leagues don’t happen by luck. Massive respect to Enrique and PSG, fully deserved. There’s genuinely a lot for every club in Europe to admire from this project. 👏🏆
Back to Back Champions Leagues… Congrats to PSG! Luis Enrique absolute genius 🏆
Shout out to Arsenal, brilliant season, changed the narrative. Gabriel an absolute rock & no shame when it comes down to penalties! Respect 👊🏽

VIDEO | According to Dr. Alfred Okidi, most parts of the country are expected to experience below-average rainfall, resulting in drier conditions, while temperatures are also projected to be significantly warmer than normal.
President Yoweri Museveni appealed to Ugandans to adopt preventive measures and avoid unnecessary physical contact such as handshakes, hugging, and close interactions that may facilitate transmission of the disease.
