Six Reasons to Panic

Six Reasons to Panic | The Weekly Standard:
As a rule, one should not panic at whatever crisis has momentarily fixed the attention of cable news producers.
But the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which has migrated to both Europe and America, may be the exception that proves the rule.
There are at least six reasons that a controlled, informed panic might be in order.
(1) Start with what we know, and don’t know, about the virus.
Officials from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other government agencies claim that contracting Ebola is relatively difficult because the virus is only transmittable by direct contact with bodily fluids from an infected person who has become symptomatic.
Which means that, in theory, you can’t get Ebola by riding in the elevator with someone who is carrying the virus, because Ebola is not airborne.
This sounds reassuring.
