The World Health Organization reported today that the number of new Ebola cases has dropped to the lowest level since June of last year. Only 100 new cases were reported last week. WHO has declared that its response to the outbreak has moved into the second phase where the focus is no longer slowing transmission, but rather ending the epidemic.
Good. I didn't hear this news because ...
...I was obviously freaking out about getting ebola. It's here! Again!

Don't worry you folks in CA will all be dead from Measles before you get Ebola.
Great news! I am sure there is a lot to work out but still great news.
Ebola Vaccine 100% Successful In Guinea Trial
Doctors and researchers have been testing a vaccine to protect against Ebola in the west African nation of Guinea. Trials involving 4,000 people have now shown a 100% success rate in preventing infection. "When Ebola flared up in a village, researchers vaccinated all the contacts of the sick person who were willing — the family, friends and neighbors — and their immediate contacts. Children, adolescents and pregnant women were excluded because of an absence of safety data for them. In practice about 50% of people in these clusters were vaccinated. To test how well the vaccine protected people, the cluster outbreaks were randomly assigned either to receive the vaccine immediately or three weeks after Ebola was confirmed. Among the 2,014 people vaccinated immediately, there were no cases of Ebola from 10 days after vaccination — allowing time for immunity to develop — according to the results published online in the Lancet medical journal (PDF). In the clusters with delayed vaccination, there were 16 cases out of 2,380."
Most excellent news indeed.
But you can be sure the antivaxers will rise up and say Big Pharma engineered it all, the outbreak and swift release of the vaccine...

Wait wait, I thought it was Obama so that he could get revenge on America for the white man's treatment of Africa?

I think you are mixing conspiracies there, it was Obama so he could declare martial law and take over.

I wish I was making mine up, but I do remember that being said by some fairly extremist pundits of the vulpine variety.

aww. Now there's an InfoWars link on GWJ. Ocky.
He lives here and no one wants ebola where they live?
What hard evidence is there that Adam Baldwin is not a lizard person sent to enslave humanity?

Lizards usually tend to respect the females of the species. Baldwin fails pretty hard at that.
What hard evidence is there that lizards respect the female of the species?
Also, in many lizard species the female is the larger and more physically powerful of the sexes. What hard evidence do you have that Adam Baldwin isn't a female lizard person?

What hard evidence do we really have that any of you are actually real?

I am 100% a real person and definitely not just a malfunctioning spambotWhich is the best evercleanse?
I can see how you might question my reality when I say ridiculous things like "I quite enjoyed NBC's 'Chuck.'" But I can see how you might find I am real when I express understandable emotions like "I can't watch NBC's 'Chuck' anymore because just the sight of that distended anal polyp Adam Baldwin fills me with rage."

We still watch The Last Ship where Adam Baldwin plays the ship's first officer.
I can still enjoy Richard Wagner's operas despite the fact that he was a raging antisemite and a horrible human being. So I will still enjoy watching Jayne Cobb despite Baldwin being a moron.
I'll probably be able to revisit NBC's Chuck when Baldwin, like Wagner, has the courtesy to be dead.
Part of the issue with that specific show is that Baldwin's character is apparently just himself, except we all thought the persona was meant as a joke, not an ideal.
