So imagine it this way, Ebola isn’t the enemy, leastways
not in the sense of rabidly seeking vectors to spread its
pestilence; bats do the deed, gorillas and chimpanzees
initially the usual victims, a viral infection then transmits
from carcasses, spreading deadly trails to all members
of the clade or clan with its key being familial contact in
the effects of intimacy - this is the saddest bit to grieve,
catalyst for hideous and agonising hemorrhagic death
But the disease does not mutate and spread on a whim
randomly; there are clear and definable needs for virus’
spread which can and should be contained, but an idea
that it isn’t as natural as it seems almost estranges their
reasoning there is more to be explained - like a vaccine
to combat what an incipient biological weapon might be
