Ebola!

With the ongoing outbreak of Ebola in west Africa, there has been a lot of misinformation and fear about the virus. I have a few posts up on the topic: 

An interview with workers at a 2007 Ebola outbreak on what it's like to work during one of these; 

A post noting that Ebola is already in the United States, as a response to panic over the return of an infected doctor back to Emory for treatment; 

and a post countering ideas that Ebola can be easily spread via air.
