The Not Zone
I wish I’d never read The Hot Zone, and could remain sanguine about what’s happening in West Africa. As if there hasn’t been enough bad news lately, with MH17, Gaza, Ferguson, Robin Williams’s death, and another volcano rumbling in Iceland. But even against that competition, accounts like these aren’t easy reading:
Mob destroys Ebola centre in Liberia two days after it opens.
Laurie Garrett’s grim analysis.
