Hi, thanks for answering questions. I have two: 1. What sort of response do you wish to see from the international community? What do you think of the int'l response so far? 2. Has MSF considered releasing any epidemiological or geo data? I haven't seen any estimates of incubation period, attack rate, time to death, etc for this outbreak. Having that information would be really helpful for logistics and outbreak response.

Hi, I coauthored a paper on using Twitter data responsibly for research (http://f1000research.com/articles/3-38/v1). Data like tweets are public, but they can be used in ways that violate privacy - like snowballing information across various sites. But given that it is all public, do these methods violate privacy? Do researchers have any responsibility to protect that privacy? Would love to hear your thoughts.
