Yes, efforts thrown against the current outbreak in West Africa will make a difference. A small difference. Maybe. Or not.

Given this disease, we are in this for the long-haul. You and I, in our lifetimes, can count on getting this. Take care of yourselves, prepare your loved-ones. I hope I am wrong. [adjusts tin-foil hat].
Vote.
