There\u2019s no doubt that Ebola is an incredibly dangerous and genuinely lethal virus, but it\u2019s also a highly manageable one, though you\u2019d be forgiven for thinking otherwise given the kind of hyperbolic coverage we\u2019ve seen of the epidemic. In order to sort fact from fiction about the real threat posed by Ebola, and to better understand its origins and wider implications,\xa0Point of Inquiry\xa0presents a special episode, recorded before a live audience in New York.\n\xa0\nWe begin with a presentation by Dr. Jon Epstein, a veterinarian and epidemiologist who specializes in emerging pandemic threats in the developing world. Then\xa0Point of Inquiry\xa0host Josh Zepps goes more in depth, in a conversation with Dr. Epstein and Dr. Kevin Olival, a disease ecologist and evolutionary biologist. Both are world-leading experts on Ebola and disease prevention with a great deal of insight as to what governments and aid workers need to do to prevent Ebola from becoming a pandemic.\xa0\n\xa0\nRecorded live at the Brooklyn Brewery, this event was organized by Eco Health Alliance, an international biodiversity organization.\xa0
