Shades of Covid and China! The Minister of Public Health in the Democratic Republic of Congo is annoyed. He's had an outbreak of the deadly ebola virus in his country, and is disappointed we don't want nothin' to do with it.

He says the U.S. travel ban against his country is "discriminatory" and cannot be justified by science or medicine.

Naturally the World Health Organization is similarly appalled and critical at the U.S. travel restrictions, and support the Congo. Just as the WHO did with China during Covid. But as of a few minutes ago, Reuters reported 635 cases, with 127 deaths.

So sorry, son. No dice. Been there done that. And we're sitting this one out. 

Hang tough.
