15 to 20% of people get the flu each year.
Therefore, I’m more concerned about the flu.
Zero Americans have died of Ebola.
Approximately fifty Americans will be killed by lightening this year.
I can’t worry myself about being hit my lightening and I won’t worry about Ebola.
Is that what you would like carved on your tombstone?
Thats because you wont be on the front lines caring for patients who arrive with it and putting your own family at risk. I take care of flu patients day in and day out — but I have been vaccinated against the flu. Something you cant do with ebola
Taking care of a flu patient doesn’t give me one second pause. Taking care of an ebola patient will cause me to take measures to protect my family and loved ones including sending my young one away from me for the full incubation period.
Those who don’t have to deal with it can afford to be casual about it.
