This has been going on for a while, but we currently have the biggest outbreak of Ebola Zaire in history in Africa, maybe in the UK, and we are currently trying to transport two infected people back to the US. While it seems like we know enough about the virus and how it spreads through bodily fluids to be able to stem the infections, often these nations have rituals that will cause infection and they don't trust doctors enough to end those rituals, such as washing the corpse of a victim. Over 1,300 people infected, and over 900 of those died.
To contain the virus, neighborhoods are starting to be quarantined and schools are closed in Liberia, and in Sierra Leone all public meetings are banned. While one would hope that this is contained soon, it's only getting worse as of now.
