With New York City gripped by Ebola worries, we asked readers if the danger of the virus is justified or simply hype?

Before, they used to seal off the town or village and nobody gets out and people go in to help, but now it’s like an open market. How can you control it? It’s impossible. The doctor comes back, goes everywhere and then gets sick. You go there to help people and you come back and threaten the entire nation.
Antonio Frasca, Morris Park

 

 

People are so worried about Ebola but they are still having sex without condoms when AIDS is still around. They’re making Ebola worse than it really is.
Ed Hand, Norwood

 

 

 

The Ebola outbreak is very serious because a lot of people are being infected by it. They say it’s not airborne and there’s no cure, but they brought two Americans from Liberia and gave them what they called top secret drugs, so why can’t they use this drug on the other victims?
Marisol Agosto, Wakefield

 

 
It’s definitely justified. They should pay more attention to the kids because you never know. We need to protect our people. It’s up to them to do what they think is right and do something about it. It’s not hype; it’s horrible to hear that people are dying over there by something that could be stopped.
Lucero Guzman, Soundview

 

 
It’s not like it’s an STD. There is a little too much hype, but let’s find out a little more about it before we put more of an emphasis on it and panic the public. Until we learn more about it, relax… it’s not that bad.
Lee Olmeva, Norwood
