This article from CBS News reports on how angry residents in Congo attacked and burned health tents and facilities for Ebola patients, leading to infected people escaping. It attributes this to community resistance, especially around burial practices, and shows how authorities are responding with strict measures and armed guards. The article emphasizes the chaos and the need for control, but it doesn't really explore why the communities might be so resistant or distrustful of these efforts.
