Playing with fire and not getting burned
--Seal
Graphic shows current number of confirmed Ebola cases worldwide. Judging by current intensity of media coverage, my guess is that most people would be 'over' if they were asked to estimate how many cases currently existed.
Not to downplay the severity of the epidemic. Worldwide death toll has topped 4500, and mortality rate for those infected is 70%.
Moreover, am scheduled to fly to Tampa via Atlanta in about a month for a conference. The thought of imposing a personal airline travel ban has crossed my mind more than once.

Air travel is the second-safest mode of mass transportation in the world. This is second only to the escalator and elevator. Your chances of being involved in an aircraft accident are approximately 1 in 11 million. Your chances of being killed in an automobile accident are 1 in 5000. The most dangerous part of your flight is the drive to the airport.
