Stallion, totally agree.
I like the article, in particular though, who produced it.
Reports of new Ebola cases surged in western Sierra Leone during the week ended Oct. 14. The authorities said that the movement of people from countrys interior to the Freetown area was driving the increase in the west.

All in all, I prefer the non scare mongering stories though, such as;
"
20 October 2014 -- WHO officially declares that Nigeria is now free of Ebola virus transmission. This is a spectacular success story that shows that Ebola can be contained. The story of how Nigeria ended what many believed to be potentially the most explosive Ebola outbreak imaginable is worth telling in detail."
WHO
"A man standing without a protective suit near a US Ebola patient sent social media users into a panicked frenzy yesterday."
Clipboard man
The Clipboardman conversation is proof that the media is doing an "awful job" explaining Ebola, according to The
Verge website. Ebola is spread by direct contact with contaminated body fluids like blood, vomit, saliva and faeces.
