Worst Ebola outbreak ever, they say. Patient zero died in December 2013. After 1 year, 7000 people have died. So why is everyone in a panic? In that same year, 500,000 people have died of malaria. Hundreds of thousands have died from the common flu. The outbreak has been contained in Senegal and Nigeria. In a year, it has not spread beyond these 3 poor countries in West Africa. It simply does not spread very easily, thankfully. As this article says, the risk of Ebola to the general public is extremely low, no matter which country you go to.
