Hey! This is another in our series on pandemics... except there hasn't really been a pandemic of viral hemorrhagic fevers, just epidemics! But that doesn't make them less freaky-deaky, just think about how you feel about EBOLA. Ebola isn't the only virus in town though, so tune in to hear about all the different viruses that cause this class of illness.

Content-warning! We discuss, at the end of this episode, a little comparison between ebolavirus and SARS-CoV-2. If you aren't into that, we actually give a warning in the episode too, so feel free to tune out then!
