It’s been a year since peak “Fearbola” in the United States—the out-of-proportion panic at the possibility of Ebola cases in this country. At that time, the outbreak was increasing dramatically in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. Thomas Eric Duncan was being treated for his Ebola infection in Dallas, under the care of nurses Amber Vinson and Nina Pham, and he died Oct. 8, 2014. Both nurses later developed the disease themselves, and Vinson traveled to the Akron, Ohio, area during her incubation period. In mid-October, New York City physician Craig Spencer was diagnosed with the virus; shortly thereafter, Kaci Hickox, a nurse working for Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone, was forced into quarantine after flying into Newark airport.
