Those conditions have led to a lot of fake news to start on social media. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/09/02/no-theres-not-an-ebola-outbreak-at-burning-man/?sh=3743a5ed5dd7 https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/fact-check-was-ebola-virus-outbreak-burning-man-hilarious-memes-ensue-amid-viral-social-media-claim https://www.insider.com/burning-man-flood-ebola-hypothermia-doctor-risk-hygiene-illness-storm-2023-9
