A headline in a health news section reports that Ebola deaths in Congo have topped 5,000. It is dated Oct. 31 and says fear of continent-wide spread is mounting. The source is only a section-page listing of headlines, not the full article. It gives no further detail on where the deaths occurred, who is concerned, how the outbreak is being handled or what is driving the fear of wider spread. Those points are therefore not covered here.
The same listing carries other health stories from recent days. They include a report that measles cases in the US have passed 5,000, with deaths reported in eight states. Another covers a study finding that more parents are declining vitamin K shots for newborns, which raises the risk of bleeding. A third concerns a promising new drug that could help in the fight against HIV. Readers who want more on the Ebola outbreak will need the full report, which the listing does not include.
