This is a caregivers' disease. It is difficult to transmit. Children touch everything and seldom get it. I was reading the various headlines regarding the Australian nurse ..."Nurse With Suspected Ebola Hospitalized" is certainly far more attention-getting (and fear-inducing) than "Nurse Tested for Ebola."

As to the question, I'm not changing my travel plans. In fact, my son is a virologist who works with Ebola. I will continue to see him as often as I can.
