Uganda publishes the Bundibugyo Ebolavirus sequence within 4 days of the outbreak announcement. The sequence comes from the virus isolated from an imported case who came for medical treatment in Uganda. It is important to note that there is NO community transmission of the virus so far in Uganda. Well done the team @MinofHealthUG @GovUganda @ICER_Global Thanks to support coming from @AfricaCDC @WHOUganda @WHO

Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history.

This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time.

For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota.
