The Tweet below is representative of many I find on this morning’s twitter feed concerning the dreaded #Ebola.

Stop the craziness #Ebola – listen to the experts. We’re not at risk – calm down.
If you choose the ‘Top’ Twitters with the hash-tag #Ebola, you will always find a plethora of government-sponsored tweets along the same line, reassuring the reader that the government has everything under control and there is zero need to be concerned. You will see happy pictures a-plenty of the young and beautiful Nina Pham bear-hugging the kind, caring and magnanimous Obama in the WH. Perhaps Nina forgot that just a few days ago this same WH was blaming her for contracting Ebola and thus blaming the victim, but now all is forgotten or forgiven when Nina has the opportunity to share the same air space with Obama the savior; and, so the happy spin is complete, and all of America can sigh a calm relief. But not so fast . . .
