Fear And Fiction More Dangerous Than Ebola

In many ways, the recent Ebola fears are similar in nature to the early
myths surrounding HIV and AIDS in the 1980s. Ebola is indeed a deadly
virus, and care must be taken whenever there is a realistic chance of
exposure. However, the 24/7 media exposure has helped create a national
panic about the virus and the associated risks. Fear and panic need to be
replaced with facts and common sense. For every false alarm or action
taken out of misinformation, real world resources are being diverted that
could be used in other, more critical situations.
.
To help sort out the fact from fiction, we leveraged resources from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization,
and several top research universities to help dispel five prevalent myths
about Ebola.
.
.
Topics Covered in This Article:
.
Myth 1: Mosquitoes and other insects can transmit Ebola
Myth 2: Ebola has mutated into an airborne virus
Myth 3: Ebola is a hardy virus that can survive for weeks outside the
body
Myth 4: Travel bans and flight restrictions would reduce the spread of
Ebola in the United States
Myth 5: Ebola is more of a threat to Americans than the flu
