Couple problems with your comparison.

Flu kills mostly old or really young people, it folks with already bad health.

And a very small percentage of people who get the flu die, but about half of everyone that gets Ebola bites the dust.


the fact remains that flu is gonna kill more of us than ebola.

texting while driving is wayyy more likely to kill you and I than ebola.

I think people just WANT to panic

Guns don't kill people, drivers with cell phones kill people.
