This has been a great thread about Maun, so I'd hate to have it turn into one of the many ebola threads going in other areas of this board.
But to be fair, the wonderful medical systems in the west haven't done much better than those of Liberia or Sierra Leone, and certainly not better than Nigeria.
In the USofA and Spain, medical workers have been infected, even with all their technology and protocols.
In Nigeria, they managed to stop it without having medical professionals catch it.
And it's never been associated with overcrowding and poor hygiene until this outbreak, in the past it's been in isolated small villages, which is why in the past it's never infected this many people.

Back to Maun.
It's October, who's got tickets for next month?
Now's the time!
If you have a 2nd passport, bring it! You can get an extra 3 months by using your second passport (and re-crossing the border) after your first visa expires.
