Since this is Ebolabook today, a few things for those freaking out. Ebola is transmitted through fluids. Dont lick someone with Ebola. But you arent going to get it from walking through the airport. Measles kill 100,000 people a year or more. Ebola has killed 3000 in 40 years. You have more to fear from the antivacine movement than you do from a single case of Ebola in Dallas. Ebola became a thing because-- Ignorance of science, fear, and the unsafe funeral practices in the area. People didnt trust the doctors and would break the patients out of quarantine -- or hide them. They wash the bodies by hand. All kinds of things we probably arent going to do here. Of course, with the anti-vaccine crowd, anything is possible.
