    As a rule, one should not panic at whatever crisis has momentarily fixed the attention of cable news producers. But the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which has migrated to both Europe and America, may be the exception that proves the rule. There are at least six reasons that a controlled, informed panic might be in order.
    I wouldn't panic but I'd be aware of what our government is doing on our behalf, which is exactly ZERO.

    They are doing exactly what government workers do. Content at collecting a paycheck without actually doing their job. Or doing exactly the minimum.

    Well, most of them especially the 'crats.

    Additionally, government workers aren't any different than alot of people i see at the office. 20% of the employees do 80% of the work.

    As a "government worker" I can testify that this is 100% accurate.

    If you want to listen to a professional scientist speak then give this a listen.

    If you think FedGov/CDC is telling you the truth about any of this then go back to watching Monday Night Football.

    We have started slowly gathering supplies and stocking up. If nothing happens, no biggie, we have extra dry goods for a long time... If however shit does start to go, we will have already been stocked up and ready without having to deal with the rest of the crowd IF this gets out of hand and there is a mass panic. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

    The news of people coming out of quarantine and that African country going 42 days without a case is making me relax a little.

    There's a reason CIC created an Ebola PR Czar.
