Ebola has not yet come into contact with modern medicine in West Africa. But when protocols for the provision of high quality supportive care are followed, the case fatality rate for Ebola may be lower than 20 percent.

I'm not an austere person.

I think that looking forward it's easy to imagine more constructive help for Haiti.

The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.

I mean, everybody should have access to medical care. And, you know, it shouldn't be such a big deal.

I would say that, intellectually, Catholicism had no more impact on me than did social theory.

Again, conventional Catholicism does not much appeal to me.
