It\'s easy to forget how worried people were about Ebola during the outbreak in West Africa four years ago. While most of the 11,000-plus who died of the disease lived in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the story dominated headlines and seemingly caused panic the world over.
Americans became particularly irrational about travel. A school in New Jersey, for example, refused to accept two exchange students from Rwanda, which is located more than 2,000 miles from where the outbreak was happening. A teacher from Maine, meanwhile, was placed on leave after visiting Dallas — even though he had been attending a conference miles away from a hospital where two nurses contracted the virus.
The panic subsided far more quickly than the disease. By the time the Ebola outbreak officially ended in January 2016, the world\'s attention was focused on a range of other problems. Over the past few days, Ebola has made a (relatively) quiet comeback.

At least 23 people have died in an outbreak declared last week in the Congo, in which 44 people so far have confirmed, probable or suspected cases. Notably, one of the confirmed cases is in Mbandaka, a city of 1.2 million. As The Post\'s Max Bearak reported, an urban case makes things much more complicated — and dangerous.
\"With the confirmed arrival of the outbreak in a major city, the number of people who are likely to have interacted with infected individuals increases exponentially,\" Bearak writes. \"Mbandaka’s dense population and the fact that it is a bustling port both heighten the risk of rapid spread.\"
Peter Salama, the deputy director general of emergency preparedness and response for the World Health Organization, also called the urban case a \"game changer.\" On Friday, the global health body will convene a special committee of experts to deal with the Congo outbreak.
