Evolution of a Plague: VICE on HBO Debrief (Episode 11)

Danny Gold went to Guinea to see exactly how the deadly ebola outbreak got it's start. This is his debrief from Season 3 Episode 11 of VICE on HBO. We're now almost done with the third season of our showVICE on HBO. Among other stories, we've taken a look at climate change in Antarctica, American militias taking the law into their own hands, and the cocaine highway that leads from the streets of Venezuela to the sinuses of European teenagers. Last year, the worst Ebola outbreak in human history swept through West Africa, killing more than 10,000 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. The disease spread so quickly in part because the international community was slow to respond, and because the countries where Ebola surfaced lacked the infrastructure, funding, and street-level awareness to slow transmission of the virus. Danny Gold goes to West Africa to see how people there have stepped up to gain control of the outbreak, and to learn whether the world is prepared for the next major epidemic.
