This is why ya'll need to calm down about Ebola. sure, be concerned, but stop the panic! [View all]

I got this from Raw story this morning: Please read it.

Here is an excerpt:

:...She is the second health worker from Texas who has tested positive for Ebola. However, medical experts have maintained that the disease is difficult to catch.

CBS News medical correspondent Jon LaPook corroborated Phoenix Air’s account on Thursday, saying that no one working for the company has caught the virus following any of the company’s 11 Ebola patient transfers this year.

“When protocol is properly followed, healthcare workers can be protected from being infected with the Ebola virus,” LaPook stated..."

TWO people who took care of one patient in Texas developed Ebola...they did NOT follow protocol! These clinical people transferred ELEVEN Ebola patients following protocols and not one has contracted Ebola.
