Summary

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a growing Ebola outbreak in Central Africa as an international public health emergency sparking concerns the deadly virus could spread beyond the region, including into the United States. The outbreak has been linked to dozens of suspected deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighboring Uganda. Ebola is a zoonotic, viral disease that is rare but life-threatening, starting in species like antelope, fruit bats and nonhuman primates. FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dr. Tyler Evans, an infectious disease physician, CEO of the 'Wellness Equity Alliance', and author of "Pandemics, Poverty, and Politics: Decoding the Social and Political Drivers of Pandemics from Plague to COVID-19", who says the death rate of this strain could become very high, and we always learn a lot from every outbreak.
