Someone from the United States got Ebola from Africa. We don't know enough about the virus to assume "Oh, its just going to be in Africa since their immune systems are different." Again, to answer that statement, a guy from America got it in Africa without even realizing it. That tells me its affecting Americans just like it is Africans. Although it is being over-dramatized, it's nothing to be taken lightly and we must realize another "Black plague" is bound to happen, and maybe this is that coming. Ebola has been around for AGES, but it has never been in the stages it is now. Its increasing and spreading. Also, it could be a "don't let America or other countries panic" type of thing and that's why we're all told its not very easily spreaded. Some of you probably think "you don't know what you're talking about, something like this wouldn't be lied about like that." Reality check, lies like this happen all the time so we don't raid shops for canned good and isolate ourselves. If that happened, how would any resturaunts make money? Entertainment centers? Gyms? People taking online classes only? Yes, that's a dramatic way of saying it, but we don't know enough yet to come to the conclusion this stuff won't happen. http://www.naturalnews.com/2-Ebola-t...d-to-know.html Although this isn't a reliable source, some of the content could be correct and e don't know for sure. I'm also going to count CNN and health sites not credible on the topic because we don't know the virus well and news media is the best way for the government to reach to us to "not be scared. Don't panic." (Just stating, I'm not suggesting you should panic lol) |

Half of you are blind, is Fyse the only one with common sense? It doesn't matter if it only spreads like wild fire in Africa at this point if it isn't contained by January they predict nearly a million people will be affected thus leading to a higher chance of this becoming a global issue disease. The last thing you want to go doing is not caring about it because your "oh America is so great and powerful!" speech won't prevent the out break from occurring in America. |

You guys are overacting. The disease is only contagious after you start showing symptoms of it, and he started suffering from these symptoms days after he got off his plane. The passengers are safe. They have him quarantined and they already checked the people he made contact with: none of them were positive for Ebola. They have this disease under control. Two Americans already got this disease, and guess what happened to them? They were cured of it. The only reason it's spreading so rapidly in Africa is because they don't have the same medicine and technology that we have over here. We're all going to be fine, lol. You guys are just overacting. Read this. |

I'm not so concerned about the whole situation right now. What would start to concern me is the fact that if nothing is done in Africa and we cut off all communications and flights then Africa will be recieving absolutely no help from America in terms of doctors and medicine (which they need). So even if we keep everything calm and controlled in America it will begin to spread like wildfire all over the middle-east. But if we can contain it over there then we'll be fine. The whole situation still is a bit spooky though.
