Oh I am not trying to convince everyone to worry. It just seems everybody here is treating the CDC and the government like they are some sort of god. If things got to the point of no return the government wouldn't be focused on saving you, but saving their own asses.

I am not saying the gov or the CDC are bad guys, I am saying that putting all your trust into one group of people to contain something that could have so many different outcomes is not that great.

The point isn't to worry- it is just to be aware. Where I live, my family owns a rural house in a a subdivision where I go to school and work, and then we have a farmhouse up in the country about an hour away. We have many firearms that we all have practice shooting, and we have a good amount of seeds and farming equipment. Also a couple months worth of packaged food. It feels like a really safe place in the middle of nowhere.

If an outbreak spread and started killing people and hit my state, at least I know that we have a plan. That keeps me from being worried. Because if I didn't know what I was going to do if the gov't made mistakes, I would probably be more worried. It situations like ebola outbreaks, the outcome is more dependent on how prepared and conscious the people are about it- rather than how confident the government is about it.
