If you haven't been living under a rock lately, you know that the ebola outbreak in Africa has managed to spawn a few cases here in the United States. And everyone is wigging right the f out about it.
But there are so many more things to be more worried about than catching and dying of ebola. How about tuberculosis? Do you know how many TB cases there were in the United States in 2013? Over NINE THOUSAND. The exact number is 9,582 cases. IN THE UNITED STATES. Do you know how many deaths? According to the CDC, in 2011, over 500 people died of TB. FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX, to be exact. In the United States alone.
Do you know how many ebola cases there have been in the United States? Six. That's right, six. Do you know how many deaths? ONE. O - N - E.
People need to calm down about ebola already.
