You're correct, it is serious. 90 percent fatality rate, no vaccine or cure...

But the panic sparked by Mr Sawyer's death is 'justified' says Dr Derek Gatherer of the University of Lancaster, claiming the virus is as infectious as flu.

He warned each person infected with the disease could spread the virus to at least two other people.

'Anyone on the same plane could have become infected because Ebola is easy to catch,' he said.

'It can be passed on through vomiting, diarrhoea or even from simply saliva or sweat - as well as being sexually transmitted.

'That is why there is such alarm over Mr Sawyer because he became ill on the flight so anyone else sharing the plane could have been infected by his vomit or other bodily fluids.'

Meanwhile back in the USA, the CDC has gone on record saying:

"“Ebola poses little risk to the U.S. general population." ...."There’s no need to control travel in and out of the U.S. CDC says."...“The likelihood of this spreading out of West Africa is very low,” ..."CDC worries more about airborne viruses such as measles, which can spread silently."

Ho hum. No worries. Just go shopping and stuff.

CDC is a total joke.

They won't even go to the border to check on all the diseased aliens there.

Another worthless alphabet agency...disband'em.

Yet they keep trying to horn in on regulating guns as a public health menace.....

No argument from me on that one.
