First, the reported death toll and actual growth in the disease, appears to be a drop in the bucket compared to numerous other fatal diseases running rampant in Africa, that we seem to not care about. Second, since no history is taught, nobody remembers the influenza epidemic of the early 1900’s that killed far more people than WWI. Really, it seems that unless Ebola, kills a movie star, starts infecting social media or interrupts service on our EBT cards, it can’t be that important.
Hmmmmmm. Maybe we can get liberal movie stars to go to Africa? A concert for Ebola maybe?
