Everyone loves nurses, right? WRONG. Everyone loves nurses until they're like, "Wait, actually, I think for no scientific reason that you definitely have Ebola, so please sit alone for like three weeks with only your probably-not-Ebola-infected pet, an endless supply of ChexMix and your dwindling Netflix queue for…

With all the shocking news that's come out about Mama June lately, it's kind of hard to be surprised by the latest nugget of information that's found itself out of the bleak and awful mess that is Mama June getting back together with her daughter's molester, but here it is anyway: This isn't June's first time at the…

Kaci Hickox, the nurse who was placed in quarantine for three days upon returning from treating Ebola in Sierra Leone despite testing negative for Ebola, has been placed under a more relaxed quarantine in her Maine home. Still smelling traces of bullshit and paranoia, Hickox will not be following the updated…

The Daily Show heads to Austin this week, for a string of Texas-themed jokes (Guns! The death penalty! Hats! Everything is so big!) and, last night, a chat with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. But first, they tackled how Texas dealt with its recent brush with Ebola.

Time for the latest dispatch in our ongoing series, "Let's Stop Embarrassing Ourselves With Our Ebola Response, World." It's only human to feel a little alarmed at scale of this terrible epidemic (though you should not panic). But no matter how badly you want to help, maybe don't throw a tone-deaf dance party…

It was only a matter of time. We're a week out from Halloween, and between the Ray Rice costumes, the Adrian Peterson costume, and this sexy ebola containment suit, Halloween 2014 is shaping up to be the worst ever.

A nurse who recently returned from Sierra Leone where she treated Ebola patients has lashed out after begin forced into mandatory quarantine after testing negative for Ebola. Too much to be better safe than sorry?

A dude in New York who is feeling the pressure of our impending doom at the hands of the crisis that has killed nearly 5,000 people (though the number is projected to be much higher) in Western Africa and will most likely not become so serious in other parts of the world/Africa has made quite the proposition on Ye…

A doctor in New York City has tested positive for the Ebola virus.

Bentley, the cute dog of the first nurse diagnosed with Ebola in Dallas, Texas, is not infected with the virus. He’ll live guys, he’ll live. However, Nina Pham, his owner, is still in quarantine while the family of Amber Vinson, the second nurse who contracted the disease in Texas, say she’s cured.

Earlier this month, we brought you the story of María Teresa Romero Ramos, the Spanish nurse who was the first person to be infected with ebola outside of Africa. Her story was especially heartbreaking because authorities chose to euthanize her dog in fear that he might spread the disease. Ramos is now disease-free.…

You would think that most people have at least a semi-firm grasp on the idea that Africa is not one small place with a single culture. That something that occurs in one isolated part of Africa does not mean the entire continent (which has 54 countries and thousands of ethnicities and languages) is similarly affected.…

The era of people crying Ebola is upon us.

An Akron bridal shop visited by Amber Joy Vinson, the Ebola-stricken Dallas nurse who flew to Ohio over the weekend to plan her wedding, has shut its doors temporarily while they figure out what the hell to do.

Nurse Amber Joy Vinson, 29, had "extensive contact" with Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who died of Ebola last week at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Now Vinson is infected. And during the time between her exposure and diagnosis, Vinson was a busy bride-to-be, flying across the country to take…
