Most Are Confident in Government’s Ability to Prevent Major Ebola Outbreak in U.S. (Pew Research)

Just 11% Are ‘Very Worried’ They Will Be Exposed to Virus

As the Ebola outbreak in Africa continues, and two patients receive treatment in the U.S., most Americans have at least a fair amount of confidence in the government’s ability to prevent a major outbreak of Ebola in the U.S. In addition, relatively few are concerned that they or a family member will be exposed to the virus.

The new national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Oct. 2-5 among 1,007 adults, finds that 20% say they have a “great deal” of confidence in the federal government to prevent a major outbreak of Ebola in the U.S., while another 38% say they have a “fair amount” of confidence. Fewer than half express “not too much confidence” (24%) or “no confidence at all” (17%) in the government to prevent a major Ebola outbreak.

The confidence in government is far greater than it was during the 2005 bird flu outbreak that is still the most serious viral outbreak recorded, as indicated in the comparative poll chart.

Looks like wall to wall media fear mongering is not working out as planned, I trust they will be returning their focus to ISIS fear mongering soon.
