I am not letting it change my travel plans. I have a Caribbean cruise scheduled for November and unless Ebola is reported on that ship, I have no plans to change the cruise date.



I saw the film clip on FOX last evening of the Frontier plane taken by one of the Ebola victims. The COO of Frontier was so confident the plane was completely safe that he sat in the same seat the patient used.



They also had a couple of doctors saying there is almost a zero chance of contracting it unless you are in direct contact with bodily discharge from a patient. Even Kelly (the hot hostess of the program) said her doctor told her the same thing and that a flu shot is the most important thing to get at this point - to protect from the flu.



Remember all the fear that was stirred up when AIDS came into the light. It was thought that AIDS would become the pandemic to end the world and that it was spread by mosquitoes. While AIDS is a terrible disease, it is controllable and we all know how it is spread.



As FDR said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." He is rated as the #1 President the USA has ever had.

Who or what rated FDR as #1
