Bloomberg.com: Only 11% of Americans are very worried about Ebola

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2014-10-06/only-11-percent-of-americans-are-very-worried-about-ebola

-snip-
Ebola is scary. Very scary. And if you watch TV news or listen to politicians like Rand Paul, we're one infection away from a U.S. pandemic.

"We should not underestimate the transmissibility of this," Paul, an ophthalmologist, said on Laura Ingraham's radio show. "It's a big mistake to downplay it and act as if 'oh, this is not a big deal, we can control all this.' This could get beyond our control."
