Tim (and the media) have been predicting a full blown pandemic with hundreds of thousands death, in Africa and elsewhere.

Where are Tim's graphs and sad faces? :unsure:

For reasons that are as not yet understood the exponential growth ceased and the disease is now "merely" endemic to the region.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Turned out only poors died, which makes it a non-story.

They probably just used that libertarian method and the Ebola was retroactively cured.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Guinea is the only one of those three to report fatality statistics that are remotely accurate.

Look away and hope the problem goes away on its own is generally a reasonable policy on a personal level. However, I suspect the media panic probably pushed a lot of extra money and volunteers toward the area. It would have probably been easier if they'd gone in June or July instead of October.

stopped being worried. We can go back to not washing our hands after pooping again.

No, the reasons are very much understood;  namely, the nature of the disease, Muttski.
