Once there is something to worry about by your definition, it will have already happened.
Are you afraid? Are you scared for your health and your family's health?
Why? There have been no cases in LA and the only 2 known cases are in healthcare workers who had direct contact with the original host.
At this time, I see no reason to be concerned. If it continues to spread, I'll be more concerned.
Until then, everyone's fears are more disruptive and destructive than this "outbreak" is.

I can have an opinion on whether or not politically we are doing the things we need to do. People don't need to have direct control over something to be concerned about it.

My concern is not that I, or my family, will walk out the door today and come back with Ebola tonight. My concern is that we are heading to a reality where there will be a significant number of infections across the country. I'm concerned about whether or not we can handle that...whether or not it will negatively affect the healthcare system as a whole, and of course whether or not there becomes an immediate danger to my family and friends.

How are people who reflect my concern above disruptive and/or destructive?
