My internet feeds are at this point carefully enough cultivated that I rarely run into total nonsense. It's effort, though. For instance, my non-scientific poll of overhearing an NPR segment this morning crossed with in-person complaints about other people's compaints by some Dallas friends suggests there's a lot of panic about Ebola to which I have thankfully not been subjected. And I can't say "hey, thanks everybody" without immediately inviting a lot of "OMG ebola" or ebola keywording spam, so I don't.
(NPR segment was people who have little to no chance of contracting Ebola complaining that they "don't feel comfortable" with how it's being handled, without for instance knowing how it's being handled. Because obviously in a democracy we should put our resources toward serving the needs of the majority [people who are never, ever going to get within 200 miles of Ebola, ever in a million years] instead of the minority [people who have Ebola who are selfishly taking up all the resources that could be spent comforting the rest of us with pointless security theater].)
