Dear Editor,I found a lot of interesting reading in the Oct. 12 issue of the Great Bend Tribune. Your front page headline read, “Health director on Ebola: ‘Don’t Panic’”. I read that article, which seemed to dismiss peoples’ fears of the “deadly” Ebola virus (I haven’t seen the word “Ebola” printed anywhere without the adjective “deadly” preceding it) and in fact quoted an associate professor at Northwestern University’s School of Medicine as saying, “…the anxiety and fear some are having over catching Ebola – a highly unlikely health outcome – that’s hypochondria, too.”
