This is one of the things that really makes me hopeful. A few 100 years ago, something like Ebola could have easily devastated civilization. Now, we have come up with a way to treat people who have it and more importantly to prevent people from getting it, even if exposed. This is truly amazing, and despite all the problems on the horizon gives me hope that human ingenuity and cooperation will win out in the end over our challenges.

> A few 100 years ago, something like Ebola could have easily devastated civilization As little as 5 years ago (2014 outbreak is deadliest occurrence), it was difficult to contain and spreading rapidly, it took significant travel limitations to contain it.
