3 The conflict has precipitated one of the world's largest humanitarian crises, with at least 7 million people displaced in eastern Congo.

Business as usual in that region, has been for thousands of years. No change should be expected.

QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK.

Are certain parties again pulling out all stops, for yet another pandemic or panic?

Or, just doing the usual Epidemic / Pandemic / War deflection stunt around national elections.
Like they have done or tried the last 4+ National Elections?

Or are we being too suspicious? Could we be blowing off a really serious Real World / USA issue and not the usual over-hyped media supported con job like years past?

Have we been lied to so much, that we don't believe this might be the real one?

What about all the still unaddressed, and suspicious Auto-pen pardons for Covid-19?

Either way We the people, have learned a few things.
* When told to trust the science RUN!
* If their lips are moving, follow the $$$$$, look for a power grab that is going on.
* If they start demanding new restrictions, see if they themselves are following their mandates.
* Take mental notes of their loopholes in their mandates for $$$$ and governing reasons.
* Do not trust suddenly, quickly develop, not properly tested, and widely available VAX's.
* Once the Election/Power Grab/Coup accomplished note if things quickly return to semi normal

5 In scope this seems to be a large outbreak in a wartorn (no treatment) area. Also treatments developed for the Zaire variant don't work on this ungabunga(sp) variant.

30%-50% fatality rate with this one.

6 As per my inline comment: they persist with unhygienic treatment of victims and dead, including a handwashing of bodily fluids from the dead for burial. As Scott Bessent said of Gavin'Greaseball' Newsome: “There is no cure for stupid”
