If you've ever shaken someone's hand, and felt the moisture of their sweat, that's a body fluid. If ebola strikes the U.S., it will be important for people to realise what body fluids are.

To answer the OP question It's not just the Ebola.
After spending some time on this forum, I have come to the conclusion that a "State of FEAR" in quite normal for a good proportion of the US population.

Not just you. They seem afraid of about anything.... , I have come to the conclusion that a "State of FEAR" in quite normal for a good proportion of the US population.
Now a healthy amount of viligance is a good thing, but making decisions based on fear is really, really bad. It leaves you up to be manipulated to act and agree to wars because the boggeyman is threatening you. Maybe take a closer look and realize that those manipulaters that provide you with the boggeyman are the same that offer the solution to scare that same boggeyman away.
A state of fear is what drives the media and their ratings, which in turn is just an endless circle.
OP if you're truly worried about Ebola then maybe you should never plan on leaving your home ever again. You stand a greater chance of dying via a plane crash then Ebola.

Yup.
See the last election as proof. EBOLA! ISIS! IMMIGRANTS! BE AFRAID, BE VERY
AFRAID!!!!!!!
Having worked in all the West African countries, never worried about ebola, you must have direct contact with an infected person, worried more about Malaria, also thousands of people die from flu every year in US, hardly a peep out of people.
What about; radon, asbestos, carbon monoxide, lead plumbing and intruders!
. Staying home's overrated
I think it's the percentage that worries people, 50% of people (or more) who catch it will die. If flu had those kind of rates you'd bet people would be more serious about it!
