America: Now the Unforgiving Land of Gotcha

This Washington Post column captures some of the concerns I have had about the media coverage of Ebola and how the internet feeds hysteria.

And just a question.  While people are in hysterical fear about Ebola, how many people were shot or suffered death from another unexpected cause when 1 person has died in the U.S. from Ebola and he didn't contract the disease here?

And I cannot describe my disgust at the vitriol that people will post in the comments section of a news particle when a Director of Public Health is trying to calm hysteria because it is draining resources unnecessarily.
