Re: OH GOD NO
Don’t worry too much about it. While it is okay to stay informed on these things (especially with a virus like Ebola), but constantly worrying about this isn’t gonna do anything good for you. It’s also a good idea to not worry TOO MUCH about potential events in general. A lot of news reports exaggerate things to create a sense of urgency, and get more clicks. To prove my point, I’ll just go over a brief history of some of these potential outbreaks.
The mpox scare 2 years ago? Nothing happened.
Hantavirus? People are already forgetting about it. It’s also worth mentioning that hantavirus is not a new virus, and it doesn’t spread fast at all.
That Ebola outbreak back in 2014? I don’t even know if I got the date right.
COVID-19 is an exception, but that’s because it was a new virus at the time(nobody had immunity), didn’t have a high lethality rate, and spread very well. Nowadays, it’s pretty much just a mild version of the flu.
While it is a good idea to be aware of these things, constantly being scared about will do you more harm than the actual event itself will. There is a difference between staying informed, and living in fear of things that aren’t guaranteed to happen.
