Time magazine has picked its 2014 Person of the Year. The winner is not a single individual, but a group of people: The Ebola fighters. As Time says on its website, these fighters include “Doctors who wouldn’t quit even as their colleagues fell ill and died; nurses comforting patients while standing in slurries of mud, vomit and feces.”
