An interesting article in Vanity Fair about the Ebola outbreak in Dallas. It doesn’t inspire much confidence that a multi stage outbreak could be in any way contained. I hadn’t thought about it much, but the way politics came into play through this whole episode did astound me.

SARS wasn’t in any way contained.

Neither was AIDS.
