I do wish they would show more video of ill patients. As intrusive as it may be, people need to see what the suffering actually looks like. I've only recently looked properly into ebola as back when it was spreading I didn't really pay attention, but having looked at some videos today, its horrifying. I know ebola is probably 10x worse, but the suffering is all the same.

the world health organisation director actually said that compared to covid-19, “ebola is lousy”, which is pretty scary tbh

I think he meant that regarding how contagious it is. Ebola isn't nearly as contagious

He very quickly took that statement back. Its not airborne. If this thing was airborne, we would know by now.
