You two guys are nuts. I live here in DFW, and I haven't seen the first sign of panic.
My concern is with this situation being handled intelligently, and having people take the necessary steps to minimize any potential for the spreading of this virus.
So far, I personally don't think the powers-that-be have done a good job at all. Right now, there's a teleconference going on with some nurses organization, and they are saying that hospitals have not received training in the protocol that the CDC has told us has been implemented.
That's a situation that merits discussion. But posters like scruffy need to stop lying and saying that panic has set in. That might be the single dumbest thing that anybody has said about this matter so far.

Dude you still have a totally false statement in your post, that even if the entity was corrected, is still an exaggeration. Maybe look there first.

I think he said that he under exaggerated the amount of panic.
I suggested panic at about a 2 out of 10. Full blown panic is about an 8.
I predict rising panic to about a 3 in the next 24 hours. If no new patients, it should lessen. However, new cases could cause panic to rapidly rise in the 5-6 scale depending upon number, location, and lack of other news.

No they are not, stop spreading lies.

I've already said I made a mistake regarding the name of the health organization which made that projection. It was the World Health Organization, not CDC.
It was an a honest mistake, but I didn't make up the projection. All of the major news organizations have reported this.
Doesn't mean it will happen, but it is a projection from WHO.

Because with the flu season approaching, every individual with fever, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea who talked to a black guy within the past year wil flood every health center in this country with complaints of "I gots da 'bola!"
If things stay the same, I don't see this being a huge problem. It certainly doesn't reflect my concern at this point.
If things grow, and we start seeing a significant number of cases of the general population getting Ebola...and it is understood that the best course for survival is immediate medical help, then obviously people are going to react...and for good reason.

I will bet you that more people die of the flu in the US this year than Ebola.
I don't think that is a logical approach to determining when the general population should be concerned.

For someone who is so hell bent on knocking people for being concerned (overreaction), you sure are quick to predict doom from the general population's response.

Discussion =/= panic, vb.

Even they never said we will see 10,000 cases a week.

I witnessed at least a 6 when carpool thought Ebola had come to Frisco. Other than that, it's just been a topic of conversation. That might be boring but it's not panic. Asking questions isn't panic. Watching the news isn't panic. Even using hand sanitizer isn't panic. shite. I don't want panic, either, especially since I am right here in the DFW area. But I'm sick of people screaming not to panic when people talk about it.

Well let's look at the threads you started... not just post (which would be in the hundreds if not thousands, but threads alone:
I'm Concerned about the Potential "Mushrooming" Effect with Ebola
What's the Best "Protocol" for Keeping Ebola-infected People from Coming Here? -
I'm Beginning to Sense that Nina Pham is becoming a Rock Star
France, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, South Africa & Other Nations.have ALL issued travel restrictions regarding the countries who are battling an epidemic outbreak of the Ebola virus.
What are the Odds that Duncan's Family Files a Lawsuit?
Can the CDC Be Trusted?
Should America Restrict People From Ebola-Infected Countries from Coming Here?
This all in the past week.
I'd say you're in a state of panic.

I think of panic as being like people running around gassing up their cars, buying water and bread, keeping kids home from school, stuff like that.
Under really no measure has the general population met that standard I don't think. Now, maybe some posters have ...

None of those titles say panic.

I felt a little undercurrent of panic at Wal-Mart. Sort of the pre-hurricane type panic. Not a lot, just a hint.
Might have to go back tomorrow just to see where the general public is panic-wise.

I might be guilty of discussing it too much, but I am not "panicked" in any sense of the word. The thing is, it's a different story if you live in DFW. I got home and turned on local news which started at 4PM, and this is the only story they've covered for like 50 minutes now.
My #1 concern regards taking steps to minimize the odds that another Ebola-infected person travels to America. That speaks to how we handle this situation; it doesn't speak to panic. When you have a problem, or a potential problem, you need to take the necessary steps to solve the problem.

No one is there.

DALLAS, Texas -- The cafeteria, where employees and patients at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital normally take a meal break, is looking more like a ghost town since the outbreak of Ebola. A cafeteria worker said their business had taken a major hit in the wake of Nina Pham’s becoming symptomatic after treating Thomas Eric Duncan while he was ill at this hospital.
We visited Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Monday to check out the mood of workers in the hospital. While visiting the various café’s throughout the hospital, there was a severe shortage of customers. A worker in “Café Presby” said their business is down by 25 percent over the past two weeks.
“I am concerned for our workers,” the employee said. “I hope we don’t have to lay anyone off or cut their hours because of this.”
