This Ebola outbreak convinced me to read the hot zone. As awful and scary as Ebola is I want everyone reading this to know that it is not a global threat at the moment. This is not a disease that spreads easily.
It would take a very specific species (Ebola Reston) jumping from primate to human for it to become airborne. So long as your country has a well funded medical system that can afford proper cleanliness, you are okay.
The current outbreak is awful and tragic and honestly preventable but it is very unlikely to be a major global threat, as much as news media might present it that way sometimes.
