it's really unlikely that any of us will get it (if you live in a developed, 1st world area.) most of the outbreak in west africa is caused by the fact that in 3rd world countries, many people don't have access to proper hygiene or medical care. there have only been 2 cases in the united states that i know of (i think most people on the wiki live here) but they were doctors specially brought back from africa because they had contracted ebola. (they were specially quarantined, however, so no one in the general population has had contact with the disease.) if you have access to proper medical care (fluids, blood tranfusions to replace the blood loss due to hemorrhages) you will have a much greater chance of survival. and ebola does not spread as easily as, say, a common cold. you can only get it through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person. there is no cure for ebola, so your immune system has to be strong enough to fight off the virus by itself, but i hear some doctors have been making headway on one due to the fact that people in some parts of africa have a natural immunity to the disease. so it's very unlikely that you'll get ebola. just take proper precaution like washing your hands often, especially in contact w/ others.

tl;dr don't worry about it
