Ebola update from Kasai, DRC:
2 new cases confirmed in recent days, none on the contact list — a continued concern for control efforts.
CFR remains ~60%, clearly higher than anyone would like.
On the positive side: vaccination rollout progressing well.

A sincere question, why not use browser local storage capabilities instead of bookmarks or backend side storage?
