First Ebola case diagnosed on US Soil

[Reality]

Read all about it: HERE!

Does this pose a possible and future threat to the USA? Or will it be contained considering there is no vaccine of cure!

Nothing to be worried about.

But don't freak out. As epidemiologist Dr. Tara Smith has written for Mic, the U.S. is well-prepared to contain and control the disease within our borders. And as ThinkProgress notes, while 40% of Americans anticipate an Ebola outbreak on U.S. soil within the next 12 months, the chances of contracting the disease are extremely low: can only be spread through a sick person’s bodily fluids or by eating an infected animal.

The person who actually has it has recently been travelling in Africa where they would have picked it up from.

Malaysian virus is worse.

There's been like 5 Ebola scares in Australia too. I'm just waiting for a confirmed case!

At least the chances of it spreading are fairly low.

At least the chances of it spreading are fairly low.

In more developed countries No doubt loads of ppl will panic now about catching ebola anyway!

Not even sure why people are going to areas of Africa they know are infected? I guess some people don't have a choice but still..?

Pffft, it's only US soil. Belgium had a similar case not so long ago. It won't spread unless America is completely incompetent. It can be treated within a matter of weeks. This article is trying not to induce fear but the way the American Government/Medical institutes and the media have reported this you would think the end of the world (or America, same thing) is nigh.

this might have been a joke but still not rly how it works! There's even moisture in your breath when you breathe out (although they're more talking about coughing, sneezing, etc), but everyone is advised to make sure they wash their hands and try not to touch your face.

"Just been to the toilet, leaked on hands, didn't wash them, gone back to the kitchen where I work, made some guys salad."

Awkward.
