It’s been reported on for months in major outlets, just not with the fervency of last time. Find new news sources or pay closer attention to your existing ones behind the outrage cycle.

For Ebola particularly, WHO posts weekly updates. And a cursory look of the most recent posts paints an increasingly worrying situation.

The real fear is that one person makes it out of the area and into another part of the world, similar to what happened in Dallas. The more people are infected in that area the more the odds of escape go up. Any place in the world can wind up with an outbreak within a short time. Given the response of the hospital in Dallas, it's very likely most medical facilities would not recognize Ebola before transmission had alr…
I'd think (hope?) that any hospital ER is trained to recognize hemorragic fever when it presents.
Some interesting data about the efficacy of the experimental vaccine that is being used to try to control the outbreak. > Merck's Jakub Simon, MD, MS, addressing a session at the American Society of Tropical Medicine's (ASTMH) annual meeting here, showed two charts tracking Ebola during this past spring's outbreak in the DRC's Equateur province and the subsequent one now raging in the North Kivu and Ituri provinces.…
I would love to see regularly updated and triaged "backlogs" for countries, and subsequently the world. And then maybe just report on the top 100 in each news cycle. Just lists of most important tickets in a global todo list - because this would just rise to the top pretty quickly and make us rethink mid terms, Brexit and train delays.

> "better for the economy" doesn't always translate to better lives for the laymen. It arguably does far more times than it doesn't. > Also you have to understand some people don't want immigrants at all. Putting aside the fact that 99% of the time they are decedents of immigrants, I've yet to hear one compelling reason why they should be taken seriously.
I see that you’re not making any distinction between legal controlled immigration and illegal uncontrolled immigration. I think it’s arguable that illegal uncontrolled immigration is worse, and I’d start the argument by pointing to the condition of various communities in the United States that have the highest percentages of illegal immigrants.

This doesn't seem like a problem to the welfare of Americans at all, while the caravan is. I presume that's the reason it's not in the news. Also the Ebola scare was already sold back in the day and in the end nothing important happened, so it's going to be hard to sell this. (If you're going to downvote please provide an argument, thanks.)
How is the caravan a problem to the welfare of Americans?
