   This is of particular interest to me since I was in Senegal at the time   
   of the ebola outbreak, and of course Senegal was technically one of the   
   impacted countries when some Guinean dumb ass got ebola and then hopped   
   on a bus to Senegal to see if he could get himself treatment.  They   
   nailed him on the Senegalese side of the border, and while the   
   Senegalese authorities assured us they had everything under control,   
   history shows such pronouncements usually serve to cover up   
   incompetence.  Nonetheless, ebola didn't spread.   
      
   I had ten years' exposure to malaria while in Africa too.  The science   
   shows malarial mosquitos are the single strongest vector asserting   
   evolutionary pressure on /homo sapiens/ these days.  That being infected   
   by malaria could protect you from ebola is intriguing.  Getting malaria   
   sucks big time - imagine getting infected with malaria, and then having   
   some ebola victim cough on you and infect you with that, too.  What's   
   left: getting struck by lightning on your way to the hospital, just   
   before your ambulance gets into a 4 car collision?
