News stories that make you wonder if these will be known as the pre-plague days

This is the lead-in to a news story on Ebola from the CBC News website:

Liberian officials fear Ebola could soon spread through the capital’s largest slum after residents raided a quarantine centre for suspected patients and took items including blood-stained sheets and mattresses.

Living in a slum sucks. Living in a slum where your neighbor has lifted blood-stained sheets and mattresses from an Ebola quarantine center probably does not improve things.

It will be interesting/terrifying to see how far Ebola has spread through Africa (and the world?) a year from now. Currently there is no cure for it, which is why it’s the go-to virus for a plague movie. Which we may now be living in.
