Is this actually something I should be legitimately worried about?

maybe, idk

I'm a bit scared about that thing now.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. At what point do we start to worry? Because 4,500 deaths out of 7 billion people doesn't sound like that many people in the grand scheme of things. But when they say things like "it's spreading at a rate much faster than we anticipated" that's when I start to worry.

I haven't really given this whole thing a second thought. Just sounds like some horrible disease affecting an already stricken area but hasn't really disturbed anywhere else yet.

At least TPP will be released before that, so I guess it's all okay.

There's already a Vaccine made in Canada that it's still on tests. There is hope!

Ebola doesn't spread through the air, it is spread through body fluids, meaning you could wear all kinds of masks but if you touch someone who is infected, you're in trouble

What even is ebola? Someone educate me. #lazyweb

so basically if you dont leave the house you wont get it?

Um....

If the saliva reaches your skin your doomed either way

It is a virus wich is set to be transmitted through a specie of Bat to humans, The virus causes internal bleedings and also organ failure, besides common virus symptoms like fever, general pain, decay.

It is not as easily spread as media would like you to think, there needs to be direct contact with an infected person or body, ebola is spread through fluids, so blood, saliva, sweat and all kinds of secresions of the body, An infected person is only capable of infecting others once it has started to develop symptoms.

And the moment that person dies is the moment it becomes the most dangerous since an Infected body is the one that spreads the virus with the biggest strength. That's why the virus spreads so fast in Africa, they do their typical lil' villages burial where they just ckver the body with a blanket and bury it right in the village where everyone goes by. Too easy for the virus to spread
