They have cried wolf too many times in the US. Bird flu and swine flu were supposed to ravage through the nation. I think there was also something involving cows at some point.
If you want to make people really take notice of ebola in the US then it's in the dogs. Researchers don't know for sure if dogs carry the virus, but they have tested dogs exposed to it and found raised antibodies related to the virus. Transmission risk of dog to human is unkown.
If it turns out that dogs can transmit it, we are going to see local officials going into homes of the infected and killing their dogs and possibly any dog that they came into contact with.
