NEEDS REVIEW

As of May 22, 2026 at 8:45 AM, this is how Optics News reads the wording differences in this story.

What happened A new Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo has killed 65 people, with roughly 246 cases reported by health officials.
The headline split One side frames it as "Ebola in the DRC: 'The epidemic is unprecedented in scale'". The other frames it as "“Very Disruptive” – Former CDC Director Makes Dire Ebola Prediction".
Can I trust it? Not yet. Only 4 sources are matched, and the match is still narrow.

Wording differs, but the match is too narrow to read confidently yet.
