World War Z is coming! Or at least you would think so given the media sensationalism surrounding Ebola. But as time has shown us hysteria of Ebola is far more infectious than the virus itself. Ebola, though fatal, has low infectivity, has very limited to no airborne transmission, and Ebola infections are acute, or short-lived. Given these facts I would have expected the media to focus on the few populations in Western Africa actually at risk but that was far from what happened. Prior to the midterm elections, Ebola made headlines across the country and articles were being published every other minute. Now you will find a lot less articles being published on the subject despite the persisting problem of Ebola in West Africa. It has been reported that an Ebola vaccine was created a decade ago but sat on a shelf due to lack of demand. As Thomas Geisbert, an Ebola expert, explains, "there's never been a big market for Ebola vaccines." Drug development against Ebola has resumed now that Americans and Europeans may risk contracting the virus.
