- cududa 8y agoIt’s been reported on for months in major outlets, just not with the fervency of last time. Find new news sources or pay closer attention to your existing ones behind the outrage cycle.
- makomk 8y agoAlmost everything is reported in major outlets somewhere, to the point that it's pretty remarkable when something isn't. There's just so much news out there that the priority they give to it matters.

- bow_ 8y agoFYI, the WHO [1] and CDC [2] post regularly on the status of various outbreaks all over the world. For Ebola particularly, WHO posts weekly updates. And a cursory look of the most recent posts paints an increasingly worrying situation.

- giobox 8y agoI’ve always believed the “World News” section of major written news outlets must be among the most unread things in the world, I almost feel bad for the thankless work it must be for the journalists involved.
