I would encourage everyone to have a look at some of the coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, it's crazy to think how little we manage to reach out to one another even when an epidemic like this has such a devastating impact on a defined geographical area, this article features an illustration by André Carrilho which depicts how the media report on world news, and perhaps how much attention we pay to a world crisis until it appears at our door.
Since the first cases of the current Ebola outbreak were reported in March, 3,865 people have died of the disease in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The mortality rate for the disease averages around 50 percent, the World Health Organization notes, and there are currently no licensed Ebola vaccines.
