no, why would i be? the chances for someone in this country getting ebola is incredibly slim-the chance of getting it from someone is 'miniscule'.
i'd be more worried about the flu, or a car accident-both of which hit far more people every day than ebola does. and i don't worry about them either.

'Unless you exchange or come in contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person, you are not at risk for Ebola. This infection results from close contact with a patient who is at a late stage in the disease.'

you cannot get it from casual contact. i haven't been to africa, neither has my spouse. we aren't in the health care field.

speaking of larger issues, just saw this headline on my home page:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...squito-insect/

Faced with more than 600,000 deaths a year from malaria, scientists and their philanthropic backers have set their sights on the lowly mosquito. If we could annihilate mosquitoes, malaria would go, too, and with it dengue and other plagues.

The folks in coach's thread would probably take issue with that.

so, be careful when butchering bats.


and for those who think this is some people killing conspiracy...again, malaria takes out a lot more each year.

some of the comments below this article i just posted are absurd.
