If you or anyone you know is worried about a potential Ebola outbreak in Australia, you are reminded to please chill your tits. The sun/heat destroys Ebola particles/vampires, the virus is only spread via bodily fluid and we are more than equipped to deal with it.

If you or anyone you know would like to contribute to helping fellow Homo sapiens who are less well-equipped, there are a number of super cool charities and research funds. For example, Doctors Without Borders are on the ground in affected areas preventing a further spread and just generally ensuring the continued survival of the mighty human species as they assume the mantle of Ebola Slayer.
