Is Ebola a Major Concern?

Over the past few months the Ebola epidemic has brought about conflicting views. Laurie Garrett from CNN believes that although the Ebola virus is a serious issue, the disease is becoming over-exaggerated. She describes in, Why an Ebola epidemic is spinning out of control, that the Ebola virus can be easily contained and America is doing a good job at it. However, in this illustration (http://editorialcartoonists.com/cartoon/display.cfm/136428/) by David G. Brown, he feels that the Ebola virus is not being contained well enough because the US does not have their priorities in straight. The cartoons in the picture are more concerned about the man in the turban, than the ghost of death, labeled as ebola.
