The nurse who went on a bike ride endangered no one since no one was in prolonged contact with her. Now, she should have known she'd be in the media about it since no one knows how it actually worked, and she set back the nation knowledge wise because of the knee jerk reactions of people with no knowledge of how it actually spreads. We are really not that far from burning witches at the stake. The general population is just as uninformed as then except the information is more available to the public now than at any other point in history so actually, we seem to be even worse. Ebola...swine flu...bird flu...it's always something.</p></blockquote><p></p>
