Show Notes

In 1976, a mysterious and deadly illness appeared almost simultaneously in Sudan and Zaire.

It killed with frightening speed, baffled doctors, and was eventually named after a river few people had ever heard of: Ebola.

Since then, it has caused some of the most feared outbreaks in modern history, while also driving major advances in medicine, vaccines, and global public health.

Learn more about the deadly Ebola Virus and the efforts to fight it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
