A lot of people all over the world have been concerned about Ebola for quite some time.

This is a statement about the current epidemic going on in Kongo right now.

This channel keeps a close eye on the situation and has a lot of very interesting takes on current events (WARNING: his audio is HEAVY left side and slightly loud, adjust sound before starting video)

Thankfully it doesn't spread super-easily, I think it requires bodily fluid contact. But the bad part is I guess it takes like 3 days to show symptoms, so someone can be spreading it for a long time and not realize it.
