About

Live Ebola Map originally launched in 2014 during the West African outbreak. The site went viral on Reddit and tracked over a thousand reports across the world, all moderated and source-cited by volunteers and the community.

It's 2026. A new outbreak is unfolding. The map is back, with the same mission: get the message out, give people the data, source every claim.
