About has much as I was scared of, EbolaScare1990, SwineFlu, Fruit Flies, Bird Flue, Y2K, West Nile, Anthrax envelopes, and all the BS the media throws at us. The last time I checked, there weren't cities of people dying off from any of the aforementioned. I'm pretty sure it's a re-direct the media is making us do so we don't talk about ISIS or breach of the President's security, or whatever the fuck. A close cousin of mine from Canada once said to me, "Jeez! With the way they portray your news here, I'm surprised you don't want to jump off the bridge already." She really opened my eyes when she told me that almost 25 years ago.

If you haven't seen V for Vendetta yet, you really should.
As awful as 9/11 and any terrorist attack is, the long-term impact is mostly that we, US Citizens, lose more and more rights. The government loves to use fear among the citizenry to justify the removal of our rights and freedoms in the name of 'security'.
When it's not terrorism, the media finds something else to sensationalize. Last week it was ISIS, today it's Ebola. People fall for it, and it just gives the government an excuse to take away more and more of our rights.
Why do we need the government to do anything here? Ebola is not an airborne disease. You are not contracting Ebola unless you're touching blood,semen, other bodily fluids of an infected person. Ebola basically is a terminal STD. So, just like we were taught in junior high: don't have unprotected sex or use dirty needles and you'll be fine. Spending any amount of time worrying about Ebola is 100% a waste of that time.
