The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s June 30 situational report shows 1,406 cumulative confirmed cases, up 73 in 24 hours, and 438 deaths, for a more than 31% case fatality rate. The report also says Lolwa health zone is newly identified, with 11 health zones under priority surveillance in North Kivu and one zone, Miti-Murhesa, in South Kivu. Health officials report 192 recoveries, 609 patients in care, and 82.5% contact tracing coverage.
Gobble's Take: The numbers are still moving in the wrong direction, while the response is trying to keep up with a very messy map.

King County’s disease-and-illness page points readers to 2026 health advisories for health care providers, plus a measles vaccine page and bird flu information. On bird flu, the county says avian influenza mainly affects birds, spreads among wild birds worldwide, can infect poultry and other birds, and can occasionally infect wild mammals, pets, and zoo animals. It also says it does not normally infect humans, though rare human infections have happened with close contact to infected birds or animals, and that it’s been found in wild birds and other animals in King County.
Gobble's Take: The page reads like a public-health filing cabinet: practical, calm, and very allergic to letting a bird-flu headline outrun the facts.
