Today on ELLA: Black and Brown Women Disruptors in Healthcare and Beyond, Dr. Haydรฉe Brown and Dr. Sonya Sloan damage down three energetic contagious illness hazards and analyze the federal staffing and leadership photo behind the actions to a 34-state Cyclospora outbreak, a measles renewal that has currently gone beyond a full year’s worth of cases in seven months, and a Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak that has killed more than a thousand people in Central Africa. As of this episode, the CDC has no Senate-confirmed supervisor and the HHS preparedness office has actually no verified leader. We stroll through the confirmation timeline, the current instance numbers from CDC, WHO, and ECDC, and the federal labor force data, and ask the concern that should not be partial: is the United States staffed to respond? Sources and instance counts verified with July 24, 2026.
