"PANIC BUTTON"

10/22/14 The News-Dispatch 10/23/14 & The Herald-Argus

"The only thing we have to fear is...Ebola itself?"
With report after report in the media of the Ebola virus spreading to the Dallas area and beyond due to the quarantined breaking quarantine to eat out or catch a flight, Americans are beginning to panic. So far it has just been nurses and some media crew who have had direct contact with Ebola patients that have come down with it. Few if any others who have been quarantined have displayed any symptoms.
That being said, it doesn't appear to be time to push the proverbial panic button, but people do need to take the prescribed precautions like washing hands, etc. that the CDC has put out. My theory is that if I don't go around touching people's blood and vomit I will probably be A-OK.
