Eman Reports from Ebola Ground Zero

My last post continued Emmanuel Gokpolu�s reporting from Ebola ground zero in Liberia. Ebola interrupted Eman�s medical education, so now he is educating his people about strategies to minimize risk of infection.

Eman and I began a very special friendship when he first contacted me when using my human genetics textbook in college. Right now he is in a hospital with a fever, after finally convincing the staff to admit him. It might be a flare-up of his malaria, we don't yet know.

This post picks up in early October, when Ebola suddenly jumped from a topic rarely reported in the U.S. ,to major news when it arrived here.
