Amazing story of the Dr. in Nigeria who helped them get control early, though at her own peril. They had some trouble restraining their patient #1 (the guy who arrived sick on the flight). http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29696011
This is getting stupid. More people die from the flu. More people can easily contract HIV. America is a hype culture.
The flu also doesn't require isolation and all sorts of hazmat precautions every time someone gets it. The fear of getting ebola is way overhyped. But the need for a comprehensive and aggressive medical response to it is not.

http://www.click2houston.com/news/family-of-man-who-died-of-ebola-in-dallas-reaches-agreement-with-hospital/29677466 A lawyer for the family of the only Ebola patient in the United States to die says the hospital that treated him will create a foundation in his name. Attorney Les Weisbrod said Wednesday in Dallas that the foundation in honor of Thomas Eric Duncan will assist other Ebola victims in West Africa. Weisbrod said the foundation is part of a larger settlement that will "take care" of Duncan's four children and his parents. Weisbrod did not say how much the settlement was worth. Ridiculous.

Are we still supposed to panic about ebola? Chastise those medical workers who volunteered to treat sick individuals for selfishly being in public? Spread fear and panic? Help me out here, what's the current ebola public outrage protocol?
Please panic! The media is running on empty after the midterm elections. Hard to get people angry about snow.
How about feeling a little sorrow for the hundreds of thousands of people in Africa that this is hurting in some way.
