Almost Everything Half of America Believes About Ebola is Dead Wrong

Last night an alert was issued from the White House, advising the president had decided to cancel a visit to Rhode Island and New York, in order to continue “monitoring the ongoing government response to the threat posed by the Ebola virus.” Or, as many right-wing propagandists interpreted the news: “to monitor how fast Obama can give us all ‘the Ebola,’ declare martial law, and take our guns.” They even have a t-shirt. When your entire life revolves around irrational fear, a health crisis half a world away is “an epidemic sweeping across the nation.” Thanks, Obama!

Except, of course, THERE IS NO EPIDEMIC in this country. The BREAKING NEWS, NATION ON HIGH ALERT, and PLANELOAD OF PASSENGERS IN PERIL headlines screaming at us 24-hours-a-day aren’t helping much, either. Here are the FACTS: you don’t have ‘the Ebola.’ You’re not going to GET the Ebola virus, unless you fly to Dallas, barge into an isolation unit and french kiss Nina Pham or Amber Vinson (and even then there’s a good chance that if you DID, you STILL wouldn’t get it). Relax.
