Am I the only one freaking out about Ebola?

Question

So Ebola is back in case you haven’t heard. Normally, I don’t really worry or care about these big diseases that hit the news because I always felt like they blow them out of proportion but being pregnant, I’m not ready for them to start asking me constantly if I have been in contact with someone who has been to Africa or been in contact with someone from Africa. My fiancé is from west Africa. His mom is always flying home every few months and her friends are also from Africa and some recently just got back. They aren’t going to the current infected country but Ebola spreads easily in case you don’t know. 😭😭 I’m scared they’re gonna start sticking me with all these needles because I have been around people who have recently visited. Am I overreacting?

Answer

We have many offices in west Africa with not a single case of Ebola recorded. Only a couple of cases in the Congo have recently been recorded, but a lot of it spreading is because of poor sanitation and hygiene. It’s easy to over react with what the media says, but unless the people you are coming into contact with someone’s bodily fluids who has been in Contact with bodily fluids of someone infected, you’ll be fine

Answer

I went through the same thing the last time there was the outbreak in 2014. We lived in Dallas and My LO was born during it. The man that died (I forgot his name) died in Dallas. My husband was working in the same building as where he lived and the cdc and hazmat was in the same building as my husband. I was freaking out.
