Time's person of the year are the Ebola fighters. Time

Time

Time has named their annual person of the year and for 2014 it has given the honor to the hundreds of doctors and nurses fighting against Ebola. Time. 

My Comment:

Great choice by Time. The doctors, nurses and other volunteers are truly heroes and deserve this honor. It takes incredible courage to fight such a deadly and terrifying disease and more then a few gave their lives trying to fight Ebola. It's not just the ones in Africa, but all the doctors and nurses that helped treat exported cases and stop the outbreaks in Spain and the United States. 

And it is important to note that the outbreak is anything but over. Though it seems to be subsiding in Liberia the disease is still rampant in Sierra Leone and Guiana and Mali still hasn't gotten its outbreak under control yet. The crisis is not over, even if coverage of it has waned. Although it isn't clear if the outbreak will be stopped anytime soon, if it does stop it will be because of the brave doctors and nurses fighting the disease.
