Ebola isn't transmitted by air. It is transmitted by bodily fluid. If he didn't throw up or bleed on someone, they have no risk. AND, just because the virus is in your body, you are not necessarily going to transmit it; you must be at the stage where you secrete the virus in bodily fluids.

The world is a tiny place with todays technology and transportation, which makes Texas an even tinier place. If a plague goes from Liberia to Texas in 1 day do you actually think staying out of Texas is going to save you?

The redfish run is on, the weather is starting to cool down, and we have football and baseball on the TV on the patio! Come on down, no worries here!

He wasn't contagious while he was on the plane. There are approximately 18 people who had contact with him after he became contagious. This should be easily contained.

Read this and let the panic subside. you will be 10,000 times more likely to be injured or die in a car accident.

Woa - I think I just dodged a piece of the sky falling.

This is part of the price we pay for living in a free society and not a police state.
