Coexisting with Ebola: Yes we can!

Like our ancestors before us, the Ebola virus came here to seek a better life. And, difficult as it may be to tolerate this alien life form that has "invaded" our country and burdened our healthcare system, it is entitled to life, happiness and, yes, even to vote without presenting a photo I.D. In the 1950s, Americans accepted the inevitability of life in an Atomic Age. School-age children so-routinely participated in Duck and Cover Drills that they became part of everyday life. Anxiety was mitigated, life went on. So too is it possible to coexist with the threat of the Ebola virus.
