Did Merck & Co. and NewLink Genetics Just Cure Ebola?

You don't have to look far to see just how big of an impact the Ebola scare had on the world last year. Just grab a copy of TIME magazine, which anointed the Ebola fighters as its "Person of the Year" if you need proof. Or, even better, examine the Ebola incidence statistics from the World Health Organization, which as of August had labeled 27,948 cases as confirmed, probable, or suspected, of which 11,283 people died -- a horrifying 40% mortality rate.

Ebola isn't a terrifying disease solely because of its high mortality rate, but also because of its lengthy incubation period of two to 21 days.
