Is there anyone here who can help me figure out this Ebola panic?

From what I’ve seen you get it the same way you get AIDs. However, I think that due to the fact that you get sick very quickly with Ebola it can be caught much quicker, and contained, than someone who has the HIV virus and displays no symptoms. The HIV virus can linger for years before it makes itself known.

I think the chances of a person catching the Ebola virus are a lot less than the chances of catching the HIV virus.
That is the opinion I’ve formed from what I’ve read.

If I’m completely wrong, I’d like to know.

I’d also like more information so I can separate the hysteria from the facts.
