Transcript
This week's Shortwave is answering all your questions about Ebola and how cuts to global health funding have made it harder to contain. When we no longer have your frontline eyes and ears on the ground, it's very easy for an outbreak to spread very quickly. Why the current Ebola outbreak in Africa could rival the worst on record. Listen to Shortwave in the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.
