The "Ebola Tracker" App Looks Ominous, but It's Here to Warn You About the Real Danger: Hysteria

The "Ebola Tracker" app and its sister site, EbolaNear.me, use your computer or phone's location data to tell you the nearest case of Ebola. By putting some stark numbers between the reality of Ebola and what you hear on the news, the developers hope to raise awareness of the fear-based reporting that has covered the disease.
