Since the start of the so called "ebola epidemic" I have read articles on Facebook, read what my Facebook friends have written on their statuses, watched the news and read in newspapers what is happening where in the United States regarding Ebola. You would think from everyone's responses of a handful of cases of ebola victims that it was the next plague. I believe that it is getting dramatized my the media for their own personal benefits. Newspapers and news channels will continue to write articles and follow stories of ebola if they know that there are readers or viewers. The only way there will be readers or viewers is if they make the stories interesting. I believe that is what Jon Stewart is explaining on The Daily Show. Stewart plays a video of a man in court asking a doctor if a person can catch ebola if they were on a train and someone threw up on them. Then it turns back to Stewart and he says " Doctor let me ask you this. What if you're yawning, guy runs up, throws ebola in your mouth? What do you do then?" He even continues to say how a news reporter in Ghana, just a couple towns over from "ebola land" is more brave than we are. Overall, United States if safe from an actual ebola epidemic and everyone needs to stop overreacting.
