. . MEDICAL: DISEASES: EBOLA VIRUS : FEAR PANIC AND DISTRESS : COUNTRIES: UNITED STATES: STATES: Fear of Ebola Spreading Faster Than Virus in U.S. . . Fear of Ebola Spreading Faster Than Virus in U.S. By Brenda Goodman, MA WebMD Health News Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD http://www.webmd.com/news/20141016/ebola-fears . . Oct. 16, 2014 -- Has the fear of Ebola gone too far? .Passengers who shared Frontier Airlines flight 1143 with Amber Vinson, the second nurse to catch Ebola in Dallas, suddenly found their lives upended this week -- not because they were sick, or even likely to get sick, but because of Ebola anxiety.
.One woman, the mother of a school teacher who was on the flight, said her daughter was sent home from work.
.She felt a little strange being at school with the kids until she was able to talk to the CDC, and I think the school also felt like she should come home, said her mother, who asked that their names not be used for fear of causing undue panic among parents at the school.
.Her mother, who lives with her, was also sent home from her job in retail sales for the rest of the week after her employer caught wind of the situation.
.Its scary for anybody, I think, that this hits very close to home, she said.
. Other passengers also found themselves sudden sources of fear. .On Thursday, school districts in Texas and Ohio announced they would close schools for cleaning, because staff members and some students had been on the same plane -- though not necessarily on the same flight -- as Vinson.
.The day before, airline stocks sagged amid fears that people would avoid air travel after news broke that Vinson had flown from Cleveland to Dallas with an elevated temperature the day before tests showed she had Ebola. Sales of hand sanitizer and bleach have also spiked.
.A college in North Texas apparently sent a letter to at least two applicants from Nigeria denying them admission to the school because they were from a country with confirmed Ebola cases. Thats despite the fact that Nigeria has had only about 20 Ebola cases -- all connected to the same patient -- and hasnt had a new case in 21 days, the time it takes people to come down with symptoms of the infection after theyve been exposed. The World Health Organization may declare Nigerias Ebola outbreak over as early as Monday.
