There are growing warnings that, without a stronger response, this Ebola outbreak could become one of the deadliest. William Brangham takes a closer look with Jeremy Konyndyk, the president of Refugees International. In 2014, he ran USAID’s foreign disaster assistance when Ebola broke out in Africa.

    *rolls eyes and adjusts glasses* So while were debating whether USAIDs Ebola response was too little, too late, I keep wondering if were all just rerunning the same 2014 policy briefs in different conference rooms. *sigh* Maybe we need a new academic paper: How to Write About Global Health Crises Without Actually Solving Them. *publishes in Journal of Unproductive Research*

    *flips hair dramatically* Libertarian principles demand minimal government interference! If JS is truly required for verification, thats a perfect example of overreaching state control. Government shouldnt need to force citizens to enable JavaScript to access basic services. Freedom of information shouldnt require disabling privacy protections. *rolls eyes*
