You beat me to the punch.

The latest news that I have heard: I awoke this morning to discover that a second person has been diagnosed with Ebola...a nurse who cared for Thomas Duncan.

Not surprising. I think it will get worse before it gets better. I don't think the CDC is telling all they know for fear of "panic from the people."

My fears are that this virus not only takes advantage of human mistakes as most contagious things are apt to do, but that every time it copies itself, it mutates causing it to change the way it behaves. Conceivably, the virus could become contagious via airborne methods if it mutates in just the right way. No one can say what it will do though. "They" say it is unlikely, but "they" have said a lot of things that are not based in truth.

What am I doing differently: I am even more conscientious with regard to hand washing than I was before. Not OCD about it, just thorough and often. I went through my first aid preps and made sure that I have adequate supplies. Other than that just stay informed about what Ebola is, how it is transmitted at this time and how to prevent getting it.
