Today my recommendation is this excellent piece from Reuters colleagues in Africa and from around the world. It tells the story of a pastor's coffin that broke on the rocky road home to his burial ceremony, which investigators suspect was one of the earliest super-spreader events in Congo's mushrooming Ebola epidemic.
They pieced together the events surrounding the pastor's funeral in the remote gold-mining town of Mongbwalu through interviews with doctors, local officials and victims’ relatives and a review of hospital, burial and government records.
