A cholera outbreak in Maiduguri, Nigeria, is putting pressure on health workers as new cases continue to emerge. Poor sanitation, contaminated water, and limited access to healthcare have fueled the spread. Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports.

UN peacekeepers cause the Haiti cholera outbreak, killing around 10000 (2010) In October 2010, Haiti experienced its first recorded cholera outbreak in more than a century. The epidemic began months after the devastating earthquake that had struck the country in January, killing an estimated 220,000 people and severely damaging water and sanitation infrastructure. Scientific investigations later traced the source of the outbreak to a United Nations peacekeeping base housing troops from Nepal, where cholera was endemic at the time. Contaminated waste entered a tributary of the Artibonite River, Haiti's most important waterway, allowing the disease to spread rapidly through communities that lacked access to clean water and adequate sanitation. For years, the source of the outbreak was disputed. However, mounting scientific evidence led the United Nations to acknowledge its role in the epidemic. In 2016, then-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed regret for the organization's involvement and announced a new response strategy. The cholera epidemic infected more than 800,000 people and caused nearly 10,000 deaths, making it one of the deadliest public health disasters in Haiti's modern history. The outbreak persisted for years before Haiti finally reported no confirmed cholera cases in 2019. © History Pictures #drthehistories

By January 31, 2020, Fauci recognized he was directly culpable for causing an outbreak that could cause millions of deaths and trillions in losses, and was terrified he would face reputational damage, administrative penalties, criminal prosecution, and civil liability.

When Health CS Duale stood before the nation to reassure Kenyans that the country was prepared for a potential Ebola outbreak, he created the impression that the country had a high level of preparedness.

MAJOR BREAKING: Canada bans Texas cattle over flesh-eating screwworm outbreak. Remember that Trump/DOGE pushed broad USDA staffing and budget cuts that affected APHIS, which happens to be the the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, responsible for overseeing screwworm in cattle at the federal level. Thanks Trump for screwing us, you worm....

The argument is the Risk Group 4 agents like Ebola and Marburg are legacy frozen stocks in secure archival storage, and not used for active high-manipulation research. The Menchikov Anti-Plague Research Institute’s BSL-3 lab setup is intended to handle their secure storage. Ukraine has zero operational BSL-4 labs. I have the same concern as many: there’s no real independent verification mechanism. Especially now. Add to that Ukraine’s opaqueness. I also have issue with Ukraine’s 2018 internal review of the Menchikov facility that included physical security problems with the centralized electronic access control system. It was non-functional. My primary concern is physical security during wartime conditions such as power shutdowns that make pathogen inventories thaw, resulting in high risk of contamination and outbreak. The exotic agents like Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa, in the ODNI slide are presumably controlled and frozen in the BSL-3 facility at Mechnikov. There they cannot replicate or spread easily while frozen. We are told they have not/are not being actively manipulated at high risk. I don’t exactly “got a peaceful easy feeling” on that one.

Gain of function research is an outbreak in the making, we’ve watched movies like Resident evil and experienced COVID. I’m afraid the next outbreak will be much worse.

🚨 Top 10 Ebola Updates Right Now 1. Outbreak continues to expand into new areas of eastern DR Congo, with cases being reported in additional health zones. 2. Confirmed cases have surpassed 600 and deaths have exceeded 120 in the current outbreak. 3. Uganda has reported cross-border transmission, including confirmed cases and deaths linked to the DR Congo outbreak. 4. WHO rates the risk inside DR Congo as "very high" due to ongoing transmission and geographic spread. 5. The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo strain, for which there is currently no approved vaccine or specific treatment. 6. Conflict, insecurity, and population displacement are making containment efforts much more difficult. 7. Public mistrust and attacks on health workers have been reported, hampering response operations. 8. Border restrictions are increasing, with neighboring countries tightening controls and some closing crossings. 9. WHO warns of further regional spread because of heavy cross-border trade and movement in affected areas. 10. Contact tracing remains below ideal containment levels, raising concerns that transmission chains are still being missed.

🦠 Shigella: Bacterial Infection in News 📌 Kerala has recently reported a fresh outbreak of Shigellosis, caused by the bacterium Shigella. 🔹 Shigella is a Gram-negative, highly contagious bacterium. 🔹 Causes Shigellosis (Bacillary Dysentery). 🔹 Transmission occurs through the faeco-oral route via contaminated food, water, or hands. 🔹 Even 10–100 bacteria can cause infection. ⚠️ Symptoms: • Fever • Abdominal cramps • Diarrhoea • Bloody diarrhoea (Dysentery) 👶 Highest risk: • Children under 5 years • Elderly persons • Immunocompromised individuals 🌍 Global Burden: • 80–165 million infections annually • Around 6 lakh deaths every year 📝 Why in News? A recent outbreak in Kerala has once again highlighted concerns regarding water contamination, hygiene practices, and rising antibiotic resistance. #Health #Shigella #Shigellosis #PublicHealth #CurrentAffairs #bcw #bpscconceptwallah #BPSC #BPSCExam #BPSC72nd #72ndCCE #BPSC72ndExam #bpsc #72bpsc #bpscexam

@SecRollins did you learn how to ignore A major outbreak from your Cult Leader?

By January 2020, Fauci knew he was culpable for causing an outbreak that would cause millions of deaths and trillions in losses, and was terrified he would face reputational damage, administrative penalties, criminal prosecution, and civil liability. So he defrauded the public.
