I sort of understand the concern since Ebola is spreading so widely and especially after the WHO's speech about the 70% death rate currently and the prediction that if efforts aren't stepped up in the next 60 days, we could be looking at 10,000 cases a week, but I'm also confused about all the concern on a personal level - unless I'm mistaken, Ebola isn't airborne. You can't just get Ebola from leaving your house and standing next to someone with it or through food or water. To contract it, you would've had to touch the bodily fluid of someone already infected: urine, breast milk, semen, saliva, blood, etc.
It's not something that would mean you couldn't leave your house. This is something you can avoid and that stepped up hand washing can help, am I wrong?
