There was mass media coverage about Ebola a while back, but it seems to have completely vanished now. What happened? Is it still a widespread problem? Was the media over-hyping the event? Possibly to cover up something else?

The media was just over doing it. A lot of people don't know it but Ebola has been around for years and years. The United States has it's on Ebola it is called Reston Ebola and it was discovered in Reston, Virginia in 1989. It is just a virus just like any other virus. It doesn't cause people to come back to life or eat each other like the articles and media said it did. One of my health science professors did a lecture on it when it was being talking about in the media my freshmen year and the way he stated it is that more people have been married to Kim K. than people have gotten Ebola in the U.S. from the "outbreak" that happened. It might still be relevant in other countries that aren't as developed as the U.S., but then again a lot of disease and viruses are relevant in other non-developed countries that aren't really a problem in the U.S. like the measles, mumps, and rubella. For the most part the big blow up of Ebola in the media was to cover up some bills being passed. It happens all the time. The rebel flag, flag burning, the riots, the BLM movement, the bathroom law were all real problems but the media blew them way out of the water to cover up new laws or bills being passed. They were all cover ups for bigger problems and laws being passes under are noses. Little by little Americans are losing our rights to other countries and our congress are the ones selling us out to them and we are focuses on everything else then what we really need to focus on.

I agree, the media blows a lot of things out of proportion, it's very believable that it's used to cover up something our government's doing.

Now we have Zika, we can't deal with more than one virus a time. Hopefully there have been less cases, if someone in a western country gets infected again, the media will be back on it. As long as it stays in Africa, unfortunately no one will ever mention it. AIDS is still around, so are many other diseases. So are civil and tribe wars, terrorism. I never thought they were trying to cover something by talking of Ebola.

Maybe the problem is still there but let's keep our fingers crossed hoping the it is not as serious as it used to be.
