Ebola is absolutely going to destroy America, just like Bird Flu, Swine Flu, regular flu, SARS, West Nile, and Anthrax. Actually, Ebola is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact. Like HIV, it is a grave and not-really-that-contagious disease. Unless you were planning on stealing from an Ebola patient and injecting it into certain areas of your body, you have literally nothing to worry about. It's spreading in the 3rd world because their sanitation and health practices suck ass beyond all human reckoning. Ebola will do precisely nothing to Americans in America.

You forgot the Lassa fear from 2010.

No, but you're absolutely right. People keep trying to say that "they don't believe" it is [u]not[/u] airborne, but there is zero scientific proof to back those claims. It's incredible what people can turn into politics these days ("I don't trust anything the administrators say!"). Fact of the matter is, Ebola's hard to spread, countries like the ones it hit in Africa are not very sanitized and spend little on Healthcare as it is.

But y'know, it'll cause Americans the fear and "OMG, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" thought-processes.
