Last update: 7 hours agoEbola Response in Germany: Germany is preparing to treat a U.S. citizen infected with Ebola in the DRC, with the patient headed to Berlin’s Charité hospital and six high-risk contacts also being transferred for quarantine monitoring, as WHO warns about the outbreak’s “scale and speed” and the death toll in eastern Congo climbs past 130. Public Health Pressure: WHO has declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern, citing spread into urban areas, deaths among healthcare workers, and population movement—while officials say the virus may have circulated undetected for weeks. Markets Under Strain: At the same time, global bond markets are wobbling: the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield jumped to around 5.19%, the highest since 2007, feeding fears of higher borrowing costs and inflation tied to the Iran war. Church vs AfD: In Germany, bishops are warning of an “existential” challenge as AfD support surges in Saxony-Anhalt ahead of the September vote.
