When people say something like "it hasn't killed very many people so we shouldn't be worried" is one thing I tend to despise. It's like saying we shouldn't do anything about a rat infestation because there's only a few. I'm not saying we should be worried, but we should definitely be prepared for it's potential impact on a global scale.

Took the words out of my mouth
@talon There is no reason anybody here would be more informed than the adults and instructors and researchers I listen to.
Obama does care. Shows how little you know. He is spending time rearranging plans so he can combat this

Lol, the media is just trying to scare your feeble minds.
Seriously, human-kind has outlived numerous diseases that are probably 10x worse than Ebola.

Yes but humanity has only had air travel for a very short limited time. People are connected much more widespread than in plague days. In those days, the ones immediately around you were the ones you interacted with. These days, I will go two hours north on a saturday night to go party at a rave with 3000 people. The next day, I will be back home visiting my gym and such. Monday, I will go to a school where viruses run rampant and we share nearly everything with little hygiene. Then, I will board a plane to visit my grandparents all the way in California.
If we have 1/8 as deadly as the black plague, there is an insane amount of reason to be terrified.
