Light It Up.
On Saturday, Dr. Kevin Brantly — the American doctor who was stricken with Ebola while treating victims of the virus in Liberia — arrived back on U.S. soil, making him the first person ever treated for Ebola on American soil.
Needless to say, people are freaking the fuck out. But most of these fears are based almost solely on the movie Outbreak. As this chart shows, your own chances of becoming infected are quite slim.
So let's all stop worrying about catching Ebola and start worrying about what we're going to do this week. — Cory Graves
