Ebola is a severe and potentially fatal viral disease. The virus spreads exclusively through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals. This transmission route means that casual contact does not spread the virus, but healthcare workers and caregivers who handle infected patients or their fluids are at highest risk. The current outbreak has resulted in at least 130 deaths, demonstrating the virus's high mortality rate.

Don't panic, but the Department of Homeland Security has ordered Ebola screenings at Dallas International Airport. Some US-bound international flights will be rerouted to Dallas International so that passengers coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan can be screened.
Now, the DHS actually made that decision due to the ongoing Ebola outbreak. So, anybody that has been traveling to those countries over the last 21 days have to be screened at Dallas. Now, Ebola can be severe and even fatal. The virus actually spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids. Now, health officials say that at least 130 people have died from this current Ebola outbreak. However, the CDC says that there are no confirmed cases of Ebola in the US so far, but the screening process is going to remain in place until further notice.
