In the spring of 2026, the United States took the uncommon step of sending Americans exposed to Ebola abroad for quarantine — establishing a containment facility on Kenyan soil with the host government's consent. The decision, born of an outbreak spreading faster than domestic protocols could absorb, reflects a moment when the familiar boundaries of national health sovereignty gave way to the harder logic of international cooperation. It is a reminder that contagion does not respect borders, and neither, in the end, can the responses meant to contain it.
