Ebola has a running head start. By the time the outbreak in DRC was detected, there were already many suspected cases and deaths. We’ve seen that if you reach an Ebola outbreak in days, you can stop it in weeks. Months of delay? It will take much, much longer. That’s why countries need to surge support to affected communities now. https://t.co/jkMXQwZ55w
