I wasn’t trying to deliberately misinform, you mistake my intent. I’m saying that oftentimes the sick are left out to die and rot and fester in Africa. Our healthcare facilities are much better equipped (not necessarily prepared) than any out of a third world country.

Further, while those in heavily populated cities like NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles are at higher risk due to higher potentially infected people, those of us in rural America are not going to be scrambling to buy PPE.

I appreciate your intent
while there is no need for panic at this point, I am also concerned at the “experts” on TV telling the public how they are not in danger and ebola is very difficult to contract

The answer lies somewhere in the middle. It is quite contagious and precautions need to be taken. And as we have seen in health care workers in Africa, even when precautions are taken, the disease is still transmitted.
