Today, my son was crying because he's afraid he might get Ebola. We live in Maine, and he's 16. FML

Hello, OP here! Apparently, the reason he has been crying is because the high school he goes to a lot of rumors are flying around- about Ebola coming to Maine. Thanks for the advice, but I have to say- a few of you are Maineiacs.

The Maine thing is that you explain to him he's safe.

Ebola has been blown totally out of proportion, yes, its a hazard in Africa with over three thousand deaths but it won't end up being the next zombie apocalypse as is always portrayed with movies, we have unrealistic views of the world and the news goes a long way in brainwashing us.

I live in maine too, on the news there was someone with Ebola landed in bangor from a plane. They didn't recognize the Ebola at first because he had just gotten it. Or the news was just bullshit or something it probably was

Thats actually a perfectly rational fear. his age has nothing go do with it and his location has nothing to do with it considering it spreads via airports

While it's unlikely that he'll catch it, there is a suspected case of ebola in Maine right now, so maybe his fears aren't completely unjustified
