~~... that in June 2019, the World Health Organization did not consider the 2018–19 Kivu Ebola epidemic to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, despite more than 1 400 deaths?~~ [1], [2]
- ALT1:... that one review showed that a direct impact of the 2014 Western African Ebola virus epidemic on the United States escalated a Public Health Emergency of International Concern declaration? direct impact on the United States is a necessary condition for a PHEIC’s declaration.[3]

5x expanded by Whispyhistory (talk). Self-nominated at 19:58, 19 June 2019 (UTC).[reply]

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. C (talk) 06:34, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth:...hi, situation has changed... can I add ALT2?

ALT2:... that the 2018–19 Kivu Ebola epidemic was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 17 July 2019? The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) a public health emergency of international concern.[4]

Approving ALT2. I thought about this hook when I heard the WHO announcement mentioned on the news the other day, and I am glad to see you have updated the article and hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Cwmhiraeth:...The article is on main page "in the news"...I'm not sure if I should think of an alternative hook? Do you have a suggestion? Whispyhistory (talk) 08:56, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't the bolded article in the "In the news" blurb (which would have disqualified it from DYK). I should have thought ALT2 is satisfactory unless something better occurs to you. The ITN item should work its way off the main page before too long. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No intention to complicate matters. Leave as it is. Thank you for clarifying. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
