Re: 1st Ebola patient diagnosed in the US has died
I already made a reference to more flu deaths in post #16.
An estimated 36 million people have died from HIV/AIDS since the first cases were reported in 1981. The potential for long term spread and high kill ratios is there, regardless of how much you want to state death stats. I'm not advocating wearing masks, surgical gloves and hiding in your home, but being aware of information is never a bad thing.
See the number of deaths from flu per year, which is far worse than ebola due to actually being airborne. 53,826 people died from influenza and pneumonia in 2010. (cdc)
