On Eastern Standard: How Concerned Should We Be About Ebola?

Since May, there have been three persons investigated for Ebola contamination in Fayette County.  While none of those cases tested positive, the outbreak in West Africa and the fact that two Americans have gotten the disease have raised concerns all over the U.S.  On this week’s Eastern Standard, how concerned should WE be about Ebola?

Guests for the show: Dr. Derek Forster, UK HealthCare Medical Director for Infection Prevention and Control; Dr. Kraig Humbaugh, deputy commissioner and state epidemiologist with the Department of Public Health; and Dr. Matthew P. Winslow,  professor of Psychology at Eastern Kentucky University
