1 found → O-Score 8 (Barely covered). Higher means more overlooked.

Score	Meaning	Major U.S. outlets that covered it

Provisional: Headline search only (Google News and Bing News, 3 query variants per outlet, all 13 outlets searched, none unchecked). NBC News covered the outbreak (headline match, dated Oct 18 ET) but not this latest toll; the other 27 candidates were unrelated; a headline search can miss articles, so this may change on recheck.
