Hey, this is Joe.

And this is Peter.

Today, we're talking about WHO declares Ebola outbreak in Congo in international emergency.

U.S. Nigerian forces reportedly take out ISIS second in command, recapping the U.S. China

Summit, and other top headlines from Monday,

May 18th. Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pourover.

Here's your quote of the day. Down through the years, I turned to the Bible and found in it

all that I needed. Ruth Graham.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

The World Health Organization has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo,

a quote, public health emergency of international concern.

The declaration came Sunday after 80 reported deaths, eight lab-confirmed cases, and 246 suspected cases were identified as the rare boondy-bugio strain, which has no approved treatment

or vaccine. The outbreak does not meet the criteria

of a pandemic emergency, maybe you remember COVID-19, but officials warn the scale could be, quote,

much larger than currently reported. Two cases, including one death, have been confirmed in

Uganda among travelers from Congo.

The WHO Declaration aims to mobilize other countries to action,

as response efforts have been complicated by local conflict, population mobility, and informal health facilities.

Authorities urge neighboring countries to establish monitoring measures, but advised against closing

borders, saying such moves are usually, quote, implemented out of fear.

Let's pray for God to move.

God, our refuge, bring under the shadow of your wings those who have lost loved ones to this disease.
