ReplyDeleteWhile the numbers surrounding the Ebola epidemic in West Africa are scary enough — the death toll is nearing 5,000, and a possible infection rate of 50,000 has been forecast — mutation, a single word, may be more worrisome to many than all of the virus's epidemiological statistics put together.

“Mutating is what an RNA virus, which is what Ebola is, does best,” McCann says.
