Hi everyone - I built this tool with a couple of doctors and an infectious disease expert. We realized CDC protocols for handling Ebola were complex and wanted to put some simplicity to it, without losing on the medical rigour. Now anyone in the world can triage ebola almost like an expert.

Would be curious to hear if you like this format of answering medical questions. We're considering expanding it and doing it for more common conditions (flu, pregnancy, etc..).

Thanks, that was the goal :). The official guidelines can be found here (http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/case-definition.html). And while they're great, they're not really usable. It's a ton to read through.

We wanted to go with a "Don't make me think" approach.
