Ebola: Yes its true. He had travelled to West Africa. No we will not all die. You have to actually be exposed to body fluids to get infected.

Not to worry: The cases of ebola identified in the USA are well contained and spread will not occur. There are a number of barriers in place to stop the spread to the USA and any case that gets through that is recognized and isolated. Spread in Africa is still occurring
