Is ebola gonna end the world. it's already in the us i'm scared i live in ct and i'm scared everybodies gonna end up infected :( and we all die?

Not to worry: There are major public health measures to limit the spread of ebola. From each case more is learned and remedies are being developed. We have more to fear in the long run from global warming rather than ebola. No case has been identified in CT.
