Review: so-so history of the 1976 outbreak of EBOV, and a glossing over of the 2014 outbreak. On camera interview and footage of Peter Piot make it worthwhile. Only 1/3 is about EBOV, it opens with the Zika non-event and closes with Nipah. Mediocre.

The Fight Against Ebola - Vice Magazine

The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa began in Guinea in December 2013. From there, it quickly spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone. Cases also appeared in Senegal and Nigeria, and there was another outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Today, Liberia is at the center of the epidemic, with more than 3,000 cases of infection. About half of them have been fatal.

As President Barack Obama announced that he would be sending American military personnel to West Africa to help combat the epidemic, VICE News traveled to Monrovia to spend time with those on the front lines of the outbreak.
