Being a practicing ER doc in 2009, I vividly remember the outbreak and the anxiety of not knowing what was going to happen. I agree that the public awareness of the dangers is up due to constant news coverage and social media. But so is ignorance caused by the same media pushing disinformation and conspiracy theories.
