Editorial Cartoon
A giant dark shadow in the shape of the Ebola virus races ahead on a road, far outpacing a tiny ambulance struggling behind it in a cloud of dust. This captures the central crisis: the outbreak is outrunning the response, and the disparity in scale between the threat and the resources deployed against it is devastating.
