It is sensational.
The truth is also that we know fairly little about Ebola. It's fairly recent that we've known any animal vectors for it. It is very effective at killing but until now it has been very isolated. We know it requires fluid exchange but that's a somewhat vague concept to many, is a sneeze in an office a fluid exchange? I mean, that's good enough for flu... I'm not sure that it's known how bats (a vector) exchange or transmit it. Just a lot of unknowns, the idea that the North American bat population could start carrying it is a little scary.
We will stop it but it got a lot closer to home and if a dozen other contract it from this case, I'd say the sensationalism and paranoia are warranted.
