In a groundbreaking and slightly unsettling turn of events, Ebola has granted an exclusive interview to UCN to address the recent travel advisories issued by the USA and the global panic surrounding its presence in Uganda. The notorious virus, known for its dramatic flair and penchant for chaos, had a simple message for Ugandans and the world: “Chill out, people. I’m not that serious.”
The interview took place in a dimly lit, makeshift studio somewhere in the depths of the Ugandan jungle. Ebola, wearing a tiny top hat and monocle (for reasons that remain unclear), lounged on a throne made of syringes and medical waste. It was clear from the start that this was no ordinary virus—this was Ebola with *attitude*.

**UCN Reporter:** Thank you for joining us, Ebola. You’ve been making headlines lately. How do you feel about the USA’s travel advisories and the global panic?
**Ebola:** *[Laughs maniacally]* Oh, please. The USA is always so dramatic. I’m just here for the vibes! I mean, sure, I’ve caused a little trouble here and there, but isn’t that what viruses do? We’re just trying to live our best lives. Honestly, people need to relax. I’m not even that contagious—unless, you know, you’re really unlucky.

**UCN Reporter:** Unlucky? That’s not exactly reassuring. People are scared. They’re calling you a “deadly threat.”
**Ebola:** *[Rolls eyes]* Deadly threat? That’s so 2014. I’ve evolved. I’m more of a… let’s say, *nuisance* now. Sure, I might cause a fever or two, maybe a little bleeding here and there, but it’s all part of my charm. I’m like that friend who shows up uninvited to your party and drinks all your wine. Annoying? Yes. Deadly? Meh, not really.

**UCN Reporter:** But people are dying. Isn’t that a bit serious?
**Ebola:** *[Sighs dramatically]* Look, I’m not saying I’m perfect. I’ve made some mistakes. But can we talk about the real issue here? The lack of appreciation for viruses like me. We’re just trying to survive, okay? Humans act like they own the planet, but guess what? We were here first! I’m just reclaiming my space. It’s not personal.

**UCN Reporter:** So, what’s your message to Ugandans and the world?
**Ebola:** *[Leans forward, adjusting monocle]* My message is simple: *Relax.* I’m not here to ruin your lives. I’m just passing through. Enjoy your day, wash your hands, avoid suspicious bushmeat, and maybe don’t share needles. Basic stuff, really. If you do that, we won’t even have to meet. And if we do meet, well… let’s just say I’ll try to make it quick.

**UCN Reporter:** The USA has advised against non-essential travel to Uganda. What do you say to that?
**Ebola:** *[Laughs]* Oh, come on! Uganda is a beautiful country. The people are friendly, the weather is great, and the wildlife is amazing. Don’t let a little old virus like me scare you away. Besides, I’m not even in every part of Uganda. I’m just hanging out in a few spots, minding my own business. The USA needs to stop overreacting. I’m not COVID-19, okay? I don’t have that kind of range.

**UCN Reporter:** Speaking of COVID-19, do you feel like you’re living in its shadow?
**Ebola:** *[Visibly annoyed]* Don’t even get me started on COVID. That show-off! It gets all the attention just because it can spread through the air. Big deal. I’m more… *intimate.* I like to take my time, really get to know my hosts. But no, everyone’s obsessed with COVID. Meanwhile, I’m over here, putting in the work, and what do I get? Travel advisories and panic. It’s not fair.
—
**UCN Reporter:** Any final words for our readers?
**Ebola:** *[Smirks]* Yeah, tell everyone to calm down. I’m not the boogeyman. I’m just a virus trying to make my mark on the world. And to the people of Uganda: keep doing what you’re doing. You’re strong, resilient, and you’ve dealt with me before. We’ll get through this together. Just… maybe don’t invite me to dinner, okay?

As the interview concluded, Ebola disappeared into the jungle, leaving behind a trail of confusion and a faint smell of hand sanitizer.
