    This is scary. I don't think they know specifically how it's spread or when it's contagious. I remember when there was the SARS outbreak and they would restrict travel to people who had a fever. Many people wore surgical masks. This is so much worse.

    Oh wow. All good thoughts. I just bought us some hospital grade germicidal wipes and we'll be using those with gloves when we shop. Now that the nurse got on that Frontier flight while she had ebola and there were five flights after that, I think we all have to consider taking precautions.

    On the plus side, I do think that we're healthier generally than many in third world countries who do not have access to things as simple as clean water and basic healthcare so the 70% death rate is based on that. We'll have to see where this goes here.

    I think this government/administration is doing what any other past administration would do, which is rely on the medical experts. What's so scary is that the experts are baffled! If your experts don't know what to do...ugh.

    PS The CDC head guy seems kind of doofus-y.

    PSS Please don't tell me anyone on here believes that Obama has unleashed Ebola in order to install martial law. If so, I'll just go hide for a while.

    Keep it in perspective. It is two people infected out of 300 million in our country. You are much more likely to catch the common flu and die, than catch ebola. Thousands of people will die this winter from the flu. And thousands will die driving to the grocery store. And thousands will die from heart disease because they are fat and unhealthy. But no one thinks twice about those things.

    The media is having a field day with this. Those people getting on planes with masks and gowns are ridiculous. People need to just chill out.

    I'm pretty sure that most people realize that the flu, heart disease, car accidents, etc. pose a greater danger than Ebola. What I think makes people worry is the incompetence of the federal agency mandated to deal with these things. Now we hear that one of the nurses exposed to the Ebola patient actually got on an airplane! Unbelievable.
