Take it seriously but don't read three column inch high bold print saying "MILLIONS COULD BE KILLED!!!" The first thing in a crises is not to lose your head. If I was CEO of Lilly I'd pull 25% of the scientist to work on a vaccine or cure. Whoever makes that drug will be rich and win the Nobel Peace Prize for Medicine. Scientists are very competitive. We aren't hopeless. Not today.
BTW, when this day is over as many as 2200 people have committed suicide worldwide. People only care when it's their *ss and they FREAK OUT. When it snowed 14" in San Antonio people were buying enough groceries for months!! The press is TELLING YOU what YOU should fear. It's as old as time, they are selling fear for dollars. They are cashing in. Ebola could stop at ten for all we know. or 100. That's possible isn't it?
I went out with a girl who's father was a researcher scientist whatever. This was when AIDS was really coming up. He said everyone in this country will personally know ten people with AIDS in ten years. That was 20-30 years ago. I don't personally know anyone with AIDS. freak out!!!
