Police take a parent into custody after a toddler at a Michigan daycare center pulled a loaded handgun in a holster from their backpack, police say.
A teacher spotted the gun and quickly intervened. No one was hurt. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tod…

Outbreaks test the strength of our health systems. The lessons they leave behind can help us prepare for future threats.
Join us tomorrow for the ECOWAS Research and Development Lassa Fever Webinar Series as experts examine key lessons from Lassa fever and the ongoing Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, and explore how research investments can strengthen epidemic preparedness across West Africa.

🚨 NEW: CEPI has launched an additional Call for Proposals in response to the current Bundibugyo virus (BDBV) outbreak in the DRC and Uganda to support critical, time-sensitive activities that directly inform and support vaccine R&D decision-making.
Two workstreams are in scope:
🔵 Epidemiology, modelling and analytics
🔵 Immunological and clinical assessment of potential cross-reactive antibodies induced by existing Ebola vaccines.
The Call is open to global applicants; special consideration will be given to proposals from, or partnering with, groups based in Africa.
➡️ Read the full text to find out more, including eligibility criteria and how to apply via the CEPI Portal: cepi.my.site.com/calls-for-p…
Deadline: 22 June 2026.
This Call is complementary to CEPI’s other Call for Proposals, which is seeking to urgently accelerate the development of BDBV vaccine candidates.
Please consider sharing among your networks.

🇺🇬 Uganda Ebola Outbreak Update | As of May 30
Uganda’s Ebola response continues, with national teams and partners working to detect cases early, follow contacts, protect health workers and stop further transmission.
Every contact followed, every sample tested, and every frontline worker protected brings the response closer to interrupting transmission.
Africa CDC continues to support the Government of Uganda (@GovUganda), its @MinofHealthUG, and partners through surveillance, contact tracing, laboratory testing, case management and community engagement.
We are sharing Uganda-specific figures to provide clear, country-by-country information across affected countries. #AfricaResponds

Following a high-level cross-border ministerial meeting convened in Kampala, health leaders from the DRC, Uganda and South Sudan, alongside partners, endorsed a shared commitment to a unified response built on one team, one plan, one budget, one implementation model.
Because outbreaks do not respect borders, and neither should our response.

Nipah virus has a 75% fatality rate. That's higher than Ebola.
It spreads from fruit bats to humans, and more than 2 people billion people live in at-risk areas.
There’s no vaccine... but finally, there's some good news. 🧵
