Why would anyone panic over a very ill person

34. Because we're all being told to be afraid.

It's being hammered into peoples' heads day and night that they need to be afraid. Many of the MSM "news" shows have had multiple sensationalized segments with a "Should we be afraid of these people?" undertones. Anything for ratings. There's a substantial segment of the population that is just naturally fearful and/or are scientifically illiterate, and that's who they're targeting.

And, then there's the right-wing and their talk machine, who are using it to drum even more fear into their ignorant, easily-manipulated, bed-wetting audience. They are basically saying, "Look! These people brought Ebola to the US! If it gets loose, you're all going to die! And, it will all be the fault of the black guy in the White House/liberals, who let them in!" They hope their minions will spread that fear into the general public. They also have fomented the notion that the government is incompetent and not to be trusted. Therefore, no matter how long and how well they've prepared for something like this, they're going to do something stupid and that awful virus will somehow be unleashed into the general population here. Disease is just their latest boogeyman. They've been using it to try to scare people over the Central American children who have been trying to come here, too. Just look at the ones who have been screaming that they're all "disease-ridden."
