Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley on Ebola: ‘We can’t live our lives in fear.’
As a Texas nurse infected with Ebola began treatment at the National Institutes of Health clinical center in Bethesda, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) had this message for his state’s residents on Friday morning: Nothing should change in your daily lives.
“We can’t live our lives in fear, and our fear is not going to help us to contain any potential cases that we identify,” O’Malley said during a news conference with health officials in Baltimore. “I don’t find fear to be of any great service.”

“At this point, the Ebola virus is not affecting our daily lives in Maryland,” he said, “and there’s no reason to let it do so.”

Good advice, imo.
