The jump to Nigeria and an eighth DRC province shows the outbreak redrawing its map faster than contact tracing and quarantine can hold.
H5N1 taking root in a new region and species, with human spillover within a week, shows geographic and host expansion outrunning containment.
The task force accumulates charters, committees, and studies while the actual power to bind anyone sits parked in other agencies.
