Life in Liberia's crowded capital city of Monrovia is rapidly changing, now that Ebola has struck so savagely.

There are no more elaborate Liberian handshakes and big hugs, the CBC's senior correspondent Adrienne Arsenault reports.

Instead, people just bump elbows to avoid any contact that might allow the virus to pass from hand to hand.
