We're all gonna die.

Now that Ebola is close, we better live inside a bubble. 

Not really.

I was freaking out a little bit about this thing, since I don't actually wanna die of a weird incurable disease so I did a little research to calm my nerves. So if you're going down the same road, here are some things to calm you down.

1. It is quite hard to actually get infected.

Yes, as you read. You can't get infected through air, or food or water. So just keep breathing and eating all that delicious food. Also, in order to actually get sick you have to be in direct contact with a person that is already infected and you have to come in contact with the bodily fluids of someone with symptoms, which I'm pretty sure you or anyone you know haven't.

Flu is more contagious so go wash your hands and buy some antibacterial gel. 

2. You can beat Ebola. 

You just need a good doctor, also is not as deadly as it looks. It has only kill 50% of the infected people and there are plenty of other diseases much worst. (HIV, Malaria, even respiratory infections).

Those who have survived can fully recover and they don't infect other humans. 

3. Ebola is spreading in África because of it situation not because it's unstoppable.

In Africa, people tend to feel like their goverments are not as honest as they should so organization is quite hard. Same with other affected countries, some of them don't even know this disease so imagine having people dying who won't listen to you, it just create chaos.

Now, back in the US, Europe and the rest of America, we don't have such major trust issues so giving us instructions should be more easy. 

4.You're going crazy about this when you really shouldn't.

Yes, Ebola is a big problem and it needs to be taken care of but there are a lot of things going on and this should not be your main worry. 

Maybe see what Green Peace is doing, maybe you have a big test next week or maybe you just happen to have a tasty cake slice ready to be eaten. Just enjoy life.
