Anyone else just a little freaked out about the Ebola virus?

Now that I'm pregnant everything freaks me out but his Ebola thing has freaked me out the most. Is anyone else really freaked out by this or am I just being silly?

As long as you aren't touching the infected, or cleaning up their mess, you will be fine.

Answer

You don't have to have direct contact. Say if someone sneezes and it's all over a door handle and you have a paper cut on your finger you can get it. It's spread by bodily fluids but can live up to 2 weeks without the host..., but you do have to have an open wound or some other way for it to enter you. I'm scured. Just be aware and take necessary precautions.

Every time I hear it's in the u.s I get more nervous. Like it's bad enough we have to Becareful in the winter time cause it's flu season but now we got this crazy virus with barely any cure. It's normal to be nervous.

Answer

Same!

Answer

You're not being silly. It's a scary thing, especially when it's getting closer to home. Just remember that it's not easy to catch unless you have direct contact with someone who has the virus. It's not airborne, so the chance of it spreading further is very slim.
