I'd be having a bit of a laugh and maybe having a gentle dig at members here talking about a potential outbreak of Ebola in the US, but I haven't because I understand why some might be concerned about the risks and I won't make light of genuinely held fears. I'll just say that of all the potential pandemic pathogens, Ebola isn't that high on the list and I'm sure you'll all be safe. Aside from Ebola's own limitations in becoming pandemic, the USA has some of the finest facilities and specialists in the world for dealing with these sorts of things. Trust your experts, they know what they're doing.

I was in Toronto during the SARS outbreak... it showed how easy it was for something to spread quickly even in a Modern city with top facilities.
