Not stale. But the burst of five articles in three days (10–15 Oct) has stopped: nothing new on 16 or 17 October. 13 articles in 30 days, 8 in 14 — still the strongest run of the year, best read as recovered but not yet routine.

Positive 57% (−1). The publishing recovery is holding at eight articles in fourteen days and thirteen in thirty, and the archive fix means that work is now reachable where readers and crawlers look for it — a real improvement over yesterday. The DRC and Kenya pieces remain the most substantive content the site has carried in months. Nothing negative about AFENET was found on any channel.
Neutral 21% (−1). Website hygiene: the CPHIA title, the 2022 events header, placeholder menus, /test/ links, an empty /ebola-updates/, zeroed impact counters, /news/ pagination duplicates, the Kenya article's three-way date disagreement — plus three channels that cannot be measured at all.
External risk 22% (+2). Three drivers, all worse than yesterday: Kenya now has a second confirmed case and a dead index patient and AFENET's published account records neither; AFENET's figures have fallen 363 cases and 163 deaths behind ECDC's while still naming no issuing authority; and none of it sits on a channel where it could be corrected in public.
Two confirmed cases and one death, and AFENET's published account records neither — while tracing a single identifiable patient's travel route in AFENET's own voice. Its companion DRC piece calls that same case fatal. The article is the only published AFENET account of Kenya and carries an “updated 15 October” stamp, which a reader will take as current. Add one accurate, dated sentence on the outcome and the second case, or remove the route detail.
AFENET publishes 8,914 / 4,315 from a “12 October situation report” whose issuing authority is never named. ECDC gives 9,277 / 4,478 as of 15 October. Yesterday the gap was 230 and 95. Validation lag is a reasonable explanation; a reader cannot reach it without a named source and a stated cut-off date.
Every one of the 13 articles in the 30-day window — including the strongest content AFENET has published this year — has no visible post on any channel. The newest post the public can see anywhere is from 7 September. AFENET is producing publishable material faster than any channel absorbs it, and the outbreak content is now the kind that gets quoted by others if AFENET does not quote itself first.
Calendar fields read 23–27 November, matching Africa CDC; the title still reads “1st – 5th November 2026”. The title is what search engines display, and AFENET's pages rank at the top for this event, so a delegate reading it books the wrong week. The entry still sits on a breast-cancer-awareness URL. Conference is 37 days out, and today's archive fix proves the site can be edited inside a day.
BVD is caused by an ebolavirus, so neither term is wrong, but using one in the title and the other in the opening paragraph invites a reader to think two outbreaks are being described. Settle on “Ebola (Bundibugyo virus disease)” at first mention and apply it to the headlines before either article is amplified.
/ebola-updates/ empty on day 4The embed serves a 40-day-old timeline as AFENET's current activity, with the newest post showing no engagement counters at all. Separately, /ebola-updates/ — linked from the main menu — still has blank Background, Uganda and DRC tabs and metadata of 29 June 2026, after four consecutive action items, in the middle of the outbreak that page exists to cover.
Add one dated, accurate sentence recording that the index patient died on 5 October and that a second case — a quarantined family contact — was confirmed on 14 October. Decide as a policy call whether AFENET repeats a single identifiable patient's travel route in its own voice; if not, cut it in the same edit.
TodayName the authority that issued the 12 October situation report and add its cut-off date, then make headlines and body text agree on “Ebola (Bundibugyo virus disease)” at first mention. Under an hour of editing, and it protects every number AFENET publishes from here on.
TodayThree ready-made posts that name no individuals: 213 frontline personnel under One Health v3.0; Africa's first SPARK-NCD graduation; 50 Defence Forces and Police personnel trained in surveillance. Tag ZNPHI, WHO Zambia, U.S. CDC and Africa CDC, link each article, and settle the security-sector framing before the third goes out.
TodayChange the title from “1st – 5th November 2026” to 23–27 November 2026 — the calendar fields are already right, so this is a text edit — and repoint CPHIA off the breast-cancer URL and ESCAIDE off the Lyon summit URL. Day 25, conference 37 days out.
Today/ebola-updates/, now that the archive fix proves the site can be changedYesterday's missing-articles problem was found and fixed inside a day, which removes the excuse on this one. Put AFENET's figures on the page with the issuing authority and cut-off named, the ECDC read beside them with its date, the Kenya status including both cases, and links to the three Ebola/BVD articles. Then clear the two residual archive defects: /news/ pagination duplicates and the Kenya article's three-way date disagreement.
TomorrowThe site now publishes faster than any channel absorbs, and the content has become sensitive enough to need a named reviewer, not just a poster: one person, one daily slot, one review step for anything naming a patient, a security service or a case count. Ticket the rest: zeroed impact counters, the /events/ 2022 header, the /events/ canonical pointing at an unlisted event, the Instagram hashtag link, placeholder menus, /test/ links, the Procurements %20, the 2023 copyright, the marutania slug, the Cabo Verde raw editing line, and the Defence/Police date conflict.
