I'm hearing lots of folks say -- as you have done -- not to worry about Ebola here in America, that we have the infrastructure to handle it. Okay, fine. But the extent to which it might affect Africans is certain something about which we ought to be saddened, no? And isn't the simple fact that such a new, deadly disease CAN emerge -- and, in a relatively short span of time, spread so widely -- a thing to be feared in and of itself? Aren't we still just one airborne pathogen away from legitimately needing to be afraid?

I can imagine it's heart-breaking to have so few tools at your disposal and not be able to do anything for your friends.
