NIAID Director Fauci Claims the Ebola Risk in America Is ‘Essentially Zero’

"People extrapolate what they see in West Africa with what they think might happen here. And I think what we're seeing is a catastrophic health crisis in West Africa and epidemic of fear here. To this day, two people have gotten infected in the United States of America. Those two people got infected from Mr. Duncan when he was desperately ill in a Dallas hospital. They were taking care of him and they got infected. Mr. Duncan had contact with many family members while he was sick. None of those family members have gotten Ebola. So what that tells you if you look at the scientific evidence that the way you get Ebola is by direct intimate contact with the body fluids of someone who is really sick, not someone who is well, no fever, not ill. The risk of that is -- you never say zero, but it is, essentially zero."
