Ebola: No need to be afraid

Peter O'Brien

In Dallas, Texas, there has been panic concerning potential spread of Ebola. However, this one man who is infected with Ebola is currently isolated and quarantined. Of all of the people who supposedly came into contact with the man infected, none of them have ended up having Ebola.

Ebola does not spread through the air and can only be spread by coming into contact with the body fluids of somebody who is currently infected. Unless you have done that to this one man in Dallas, then you’re in the clear.

Even though this terrible disease has found its way into the United States, there is no reason for people to start worrying about an epidemic. The fear of an epidemic can only lead to a panic and that would all be completely unnecessary.
