I do, and if you're educated on ebola you'll be fine. No one is panicking in Dallas.

Well, I'm sure SOMEBODY is. There's always SOMEBODY.

Come to think of it, the guy's family might be, understandably, panicking, all stuck in the house on pain of legal action, not knowing if they've contracted a rather scary disease. I wouldn't blame THEM. Though for all I know, they're taking it relatively calmly. And the guy himself might be, since he KNOWS he's got it.

Nobody else should really be panicking at this point, though.

Well sure. Someday.

Local news says that the family is fine. They took the quarantine quite well.

National and AP news on the other hand, is changing the story making it seem way worse than what it is.

People are more concerned about the severe weather that came through the metroplex yesterday than they are with ebola.

But falling asleep when I'm like 100, not bleeding out of my eyeballs and anus.

The Ebola Thread sounds like a Robin Cook novel.

You must be listening very selectively if everything you are hearing tells you we are all going to die from Ebola...

If something goes horribly, improbably wrong? Sure. But that's something one can say every day, about so many things. Generally, things DON'T go horribly, improbably wrong on a scale large enough to be of general concern. That's why they are called improbable.

only thing that scares me honestly is the news reporting armed guards at this guys house preventing him or his family from leaving. i mean yea i get its for protection but isnt that a bit extreme?

It isn't like they are on a schedule...

The point is, if you lived in one of the affected countries, a great deal of worry would be warranted. Here, now? Not so much. For this incident to turn into a US epidemic of Ebola would be wildly improbable.
