Have I mentioned that I've always known I would die of Ebola?

Well, not always. Only since 1994 when I read Richard Preston's The Hot Zone.

Last year I got part of the way through a MOOC on epidemics before I had to give up because I couldn't keep up with the work. But I am on their mailing list so I received a link to this video, which is a very good summary of what is going on.

I cannot manage participating in spn-reversebang this year.

This makes me very sad.
