 Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably heard about the virus "Ebola." For those who need a quick brushing up, Ebola is a virus originated from Africa, and, "an infectious and generally fatal disease marked by fever and severe internal bleeding, spread through contact with infected body fluid."     
  (Translated from Google) 

This, of course, created a whole new fear factor after someone arriving to the US caught the virus. 
To limit the amount of panic, five major airlines decided to screen people when they come back from west African countries. This idea came up after Thomas Eric Duncan died in a Dallas hospital from Ebola. Having these temperature checks would help regulate and keep the virus from spreading around. 

Well, in my opinion, as scary as Ebola may sound, I honestly don't think we have anything to worry about. As Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University, had said, "That’s worth something because, at the moment, we have a much larger outbreak of anxiety than we have of Ebola.” 

Honestly we are over hyping this. I mean out of the many living in America, only one guy caught the virus. We're causing much more stress then we need. We live in America, and in America we have much more of an advance science than any other country. Our top field medical doctors will provide us with the treatment we need. Look at Africa, for example. Those hospitals aren't as good compared to ours. So I don't think we should overreact and hide out in our houses with masks and air-freshers. Rather, I think we should help and donate to stop this virus once and for all:
