Four of Kenya's eight Ebola cases worked in the Nairobi hospital that treated Patient Zero, including a patient attendant who cleaned linens. Containment is working, but protection has to cover every worker in the building, not just clinicians.
Also, keep in mind:
All new cases were already in quarantine. No community transmission reported. Contact tracing appears to be working. The strain is Bundibugyo which has no approved vaccine, so infection control is the main tool.
Cleaners, laundry staff and attendants face real exposure. They need the same equipment and training as medics. If you have fever, tiredness, muscle pain, vomiting and diarrhoea, call authorities at once.

The youth-state social contract isn't broken in one place, it's strained across many touchpoints at once: policing, elections, justice, civic space, opportunity.
Fixing it means everyone who touches those points talking to each other.

We also briefed PS @ray_omollo on our security governance work & the reforms needed.
Rebuilding the social contract requires real delivery from county & national government, not just dialogue.

What a disgrace! Racism is not a joke, a personality trait, or an excuse rooted in ‘where I come from.’ It’s a violation of basic human dignity, full stop. Public figures, especially elected officials, have a heightened responsibility to reject hatred, not rationalize it. Kylian Mbappé deserves an apology, and so does everyone who has been targeted by this kind of language. Human dignity for all is not a slogan. It’s a commitment. #France #Paraguay
"Yo no tengo que pedir disculpas a Mbappé por decir que chupaba cocos en vez de leche materna y solo conocía a chimpancés. Yo vengo de una sociedad donde se le pegaba a los gays y decir negro de mierda era lo más usual".
Celeste Amarilla, una senadora ultraderechista paraguaya, aseguró que no tiene que pedirle perdón al jugador francés Mbappé, después de insultarle gravemente de manera racista.
Hasta donde llega la enfermedad racista en esta sociedad, para creerte aria por ser un poco menos negro que el de al lado.
