Ebola is terrifying. But it's not likely to kill you, or to spread widely in the United States. What's scary — and hyped — about Ebola isn't what makes it dangerous.
Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever. It kills about half of those who contract it. It sometimes, though not always, leads to uncontrollable bleeding. But it's difficult to contract. The only way to catch Ebola is to have direct contact with the bodily fluids — vomit, sweat, blood, feces, urine or saliva — of someone who has Ebola and has begun showing symptoms.

You could have Ebola.
Don't listen to "Vox", whoever they are!
Probably put there by some obscure govt official to try to calm the hysteria of the masses. Most medical information is that it is NOT know all the ways this virus can transmit itself.
When the best of the best and most knowledgeable health experts catch it I can strongly believe it is going to kill millions.
President Obola is doing everything he can to accommodate it.

@5:07 he said he believes its GOING to kill millions. With this incompetence in office (here and in other countries), I believe it
