Well, as of today there are no Ebola cases in the US. The systems in place and the responses of government were completely successful. There were zero cases of spread by incidental contact. There was no need to lock people up as those who were not quarantined just subjected to twice daily temperature checks did not spread disease. The panic inducing talking heads on CNN and FOX were wrong in their dire predictions. The medical community and the WHO experts were right.

I wouldn't be so hard on TOTV posters at all. The media, who by the way was asked by the White House to tone it down, whipped everyone into a frenzy.
That along with the fact this was scary...Ebola reaching our shores....there was a natural reaction which is understandable.
I hope your confidence is rewarded but find no fault in the concern expressed.
Just asking this question which is non related to this specific thread but relates to another active thread on net neutrality....
Wonder how much we would even know about what was going on....I mean via the internet on this with net neutrality....that request from the Government, I THINK, could have just been a directive ! Just testing this...still trying to get my head around net neutrality and this seems like a subject (EBOLA) that might fit into the discussion.
