A MYSTERIOUS respiratory disease has emerged in Congo that’s been dubbed “Disease X” by the Africa Center for Disease Control.

The case fatality rate is high, over 6% (compared to seasonal influenza, which is usually around 0.1%). However, many of the fatalities were children who were malnourished, which may have made them more susceptible to the disease.

Meanwhile, another outbreak of something called “Dancing Disease” has emerged in Uganda. We’re keeping an eye on these, using our God-given discernment to sift out the truth from clickbait.
