EBOLA IS IN AMERICA

[Duchess]

Yes and no. The form of menegitis that is airborne is highly contagious, yet the requirements to sustain virulent are stringent, so not everybody who breathes it gets infected. There are airborne menegitis deaths every year in the US (150-300 per year) but you don't see anything about it on the news because it's been around for years. This is just the flavor of the year for the media. Remember the H1N1 scare? Yeah...

I'm thinking that the only people who are going to be comfortable (for lack of a better word) with Ebola in America are going to be those with a background like yours, those who have an understanding or taken the time to educate themselves. The media is scaring the crap out of Americans, not everyone of course but many and people are frightened. I'm not at that point but I can see where I could be if I continued to pay attention to everything out there.
