The last time the world freaked out about a global pandemic, it was 2014. The Ebola virus devastated Liberia and two other West African countries, but only about a dozen people were treated in Europe and North America.
Ashoka Mukpo was an American journalist who had spent two previous years in Liberia, and returned to Monrovia to cover the pandemic. He lasted a month before getting sick.
Seven years later, he's fully recovered and still working as a journalist. And the perspectives he learned from being the focus of a media storm inform how he works with the people he covers today.
