WHO has just added a new section to their Ebola website coverage…a collection of very interesting articles on the outbreak. It is a great overview of the history, the failures, myths, surprises and where we might be going.
If you are following the outbreak at all, I would highly recommend spending a bit of time, looking over the articles.
