No one thought Ebola would make it here but not one guy is dead, and there are a handful of others that supposedly have it. And who's to say that the virus wont mutate to the point where it can become airborn or survive being on different surfaces?

yeah and as a result, airports are taking measures to make sure sick people dont lie their way into the country, but on the flipside, i don't think he intended to lie to get to the US since ebola takes about 2-3 weeks for symptons to show.



staying healthy with maintaining a healthy immune system ,staying away from big crowds in tight areas and practicing good hygiene with hand sanitizer is what i'd do.

The flu kills THOUSANDS of people EVERY year in the USA alone. The flu is easy to catch. Ebola has killed thousands of people TOTAL worldwide and is (reputedly) hard to catch. Driving cars to work/grocery/etc. kills way more than both combined, and medical mistakes and opportunistic infections from hospital visits kill many times more than driving a car!



Worry about something else - and if someone is sweating, vomiting, and bleeding from every orifice don't go lick them.

Having fear of Ebola raise your blood pressure is more likely to kill you than Ebola.
