No, I'm giving al little perspective to show how much emotions play a role in our reactions/outrage to certain threats.

People in the US dying by some sort of vehicular accident has been going on for almost a century. People in the US dying from this virulent strain of Ebola, just a couple of weeks.

Car accidents aren't contagious.

Those are some important differences.

We know the 2nd nurse took a flight to meet up with friends, then took a flight back. Depending on when\if she became contagious we are looking at a potential number of others similarly infected right now that runs from 0 to around a (conservative) few dozen (the people she came into direct contact with, those sitting near her, whoever sat in her airplane seat on the next leg of the journey, someone taking any money from her, etc).

What will tell the tale is how many new cases related to her crop up over the next 2-3 weeks.
