I saw one theory from the Ugandan ministry of health that children were eating fallen mangoes that infected animals had partially eaten? It’s more likely infected bush meat though

I don’t know that it’s necessarily clickbait. There’s a poorly controlled outbreak and a chance for the US to see imported cases..

So as I understand it, the outbreak started around that new mine since a lot of forest/natural habitat was probably destroyed by workers and brought them into contact with mammals that are the natural reservoir for Ebola

This comment is pointless given there is considerable risk for the outbreak to spillover and 140 travelers a day coming from Uganda per the CDC
