By Ronald A. Klain Ronald A. Klain Contributing columnist focused on public policy, legal issues and political affairs Bio Follow Contributing columnist March 15 Ronald A. Klain, a Post contributing columnist, served as White House Ebola Response coordinator from 2014 to 2015.
Thus, it is no surprise that pressure for a massive U.S. response such as the one the Obama administration undertook in 2014 — a $6 billion emergency-aid package, more than 10,000 U.S. civilians at work in the region — has not been repeated. Such an effort has also seemed unnecessary to this point. A vaccine for Ebola, developed near the end of the 2014 outbreak, is now available. Through the work of the global vaccine alliance Gavi, nearly 90,000 Congolese have received it.
In sum, the Trump administration has taken the standard measures for buttressing a global health response effort. The problem is that the customary approach may not get the job done this time, just as it would not have in 2014.
Asorock presidency mbuhari please don't let anyone from DR Congo come in to our country without proper scrutiny. We all know Nigeria is their first home after contacting every disease. Watch over our airspace biko.
Dont look to DC to do anything. There, everyone is filled with self-righteousness.
skrbelly1 Where is the concern? In New Zealand, I’d say.
bible code talk about this 20-years ago no one believe it is airborne from Europe
Our government believes in stupidity now, not science.
Ebola! Main stream media makes more money trashing Trump and propping political agendas .
Ebola is an existential threat to mankind more than Global Warming! People are dying NOW! Global Warming is the religion of the Extreme Left. They can't prove it, & it's hard to disprove, thus it becomes a religion, it must be accepted by faith & Not by Science! Govt must reject
Approx 1,300 miles away, Muslim extremists are murdering Christians in Nigeria by thousands. Where is the concern? Is the WaPo covering the genocide there?
morgfair yes, but... Kardashians!
All worldly concern seems to be w the 3 new radical, nonsensical, vapid freshman congressmen. WaPo leads that pack. Get your head out of your ass and try to get some CONCERNED REPORTING done. TY
TrickFreee Sorry. Ebola just doesn't sound like a bad alternative to life under Trump.
morgfair Ask the anti-vaxer gang?
morgfair B.S FAKE NEWS!
I dunno. Did you bury it on page 5 because of the Trump circus?
This is the beginning of the Apocalypsis
merleobrien they are covertly still trying to find out if its a delibirate thing..a attack or test by terrorists orgs etc.
Uhh... Maybe if you hacks would stop reporting on how many diet cokes realDonaldTrump drinks, you could report other things!
We have white Supremacists mass killing people, a US measles outbreak (because parents refuse to vaccinate their children), and now an Ebola outbreak that could spread worldwide.Add in Trump as our President. We are doomed unless we rid ourselves of all four!

You are too busy making up lies about our President and his supporters
Not sure you guys have noticed, but you’ve been so busy posting about nonsense that you must have forgotten to express your concern earlier about actual news such as this. But yeah, it’s our fault for not being concerned enough.
According to the article, djt’s administration has addressed the issue on a minimal basis. Much more is needed. Rollbacks of previous programs is not adequate.
...and the Emperor is worried about his clothing

How deforestation helped unleash Ebola
Ghana says locals used as 'guinea pigs' in Ebola trial
Maybe just haven’t figured out a way to blame it on Trump and his alt-right shock troops yet?
The world’s largest outbreak of Progressivism has broken out in America. How many will die?
Srsly? If I hadn't seen this Tweet I wouldn't have even known.
MSNBC? Where is the concern? BlackLivesMatter (even if they're not American ones. Really, they do.)
No concern
there government stole the vaccines that we sent
Obama built that...
Americans have to save the planet! Wait... is this a fucking movie? Jeeees guys, relax.
The Concern should be having it make it's way into our southern border...
Lots of us have been concerned & have been following it closely via StatNews, CIDRAP for example. Maybe if you report on it more, ppl will be informed & can be concerned. This is a really, really hard outbreak b/c the war.
Get the UN to help. America is busy trying to secure the crisis of drugs and criminals at our border.
Suffering no doubt
You remember what Mr. Trump said about the countries in Africa. It makes me so angry that I start shaking. And this nonsense about calling the 'motorcyclists for Trump' to his assistance in case he is impeached (which should have happened yesterday) is the limit!!
The concern I imagine is in the Congo
The world sucks😞
From this point of view, you are right
UN Eu and WHO follow Med.
In Australia where 49 people were killed. In Cameroon, tens are killed everyday by gov't troops. Who cares? What a world we live in.
The concern is in the Congo until The Ebola boards a plane to the US. Haven’t you heard of the border crisis? How can we focus on anything else while facing a national emergency?
Well I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for that WH leadership....
Looks like Chicago governed by demoCraps
