True, I agree with the points you've made. I've been trying not to worry about it, but I can only imagine how this man and his family is doing right now. ;-; breaks my heart.

I was reading up on that case earlier. Honestly, the chances of the Ebola diagnosed in the U.S spreading is almost non-existent. Even if this person did unknowingly spread it to another person, it'll never reach an outbreak like what we've seen in Africa. The U.S has more knowledge and equipment than the African nations being overtaken by Ebola. We do have the power to stop an Ebola outbreak before it even begins. I do hope that after this, doctors will start actually caring about a patient's recent travel history before giving a diagnosis. Until the Ebola outbreak in Africa can be controlled and stopped, doctors in the U.S need to be a lot more careful and not brush off beginning symptoms as just a common illness.
It can be scary thinking about Ebola being in the U.S, especially with the hysteria in Africa caused by the outbreak. However, it's best not to worry about the case of Ebola. Realistically, Ebola isn't much of a threat to Americans. ^.^"
