The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is growing – and is likely larger than official numbers show. The deadly disease spreads through bodily fluids, on average killing half the people it infects. And while officially declared in May, the case numbers point to the virus circulating for months without being detected. To make matters worse, there’s not a vaccine for this specific species of ebolavirus – at least, not yet. NPR global health correspondent <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/703751120/jonathan-lambert"target="_blank" >Jonathan Lambert</a> has been covering everything Ebola-related for the past month or so, and shares what he’s learned today.
