Nobody I came in contact with today in Dallas was hysterical, thank goodness. Our local media isn't. I think it's just the national and cable media that is scared silly and trying to garner ratings. The city is operating as usual and the streets and stores were full. I have heard more than a few people on cable TV angry at the Dallas Ebola patient once they heard he could or should have known he was going to become contagious. I wonder why he got on an international flight, knowing he had been in the midst of a community riddled with the deadly Ebola disease and apparently come into very close contact with at least one deathly ill person?
