[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's see.  According to Miriam-Webster, hysteria=behaving or reacting in an extreme way because of fear.

Now let's look at some of the things that have been posted here over the last few days, following the announcement of ONE case diagnosed in the US:

--Close the borders!
--The government is lying to us!
--I'm never using another airplane bathroom!
--I'm going to quit riding the Metro!
--One person (who's temperature was taken before check-in) could infect an entire plane!
--Hoardes of West Africans with Ebola are going to start flying to the US!

Yeah, you're right.  None of those reactions sound extreme at all.

I see.  So stating an opinion that you believe is wrong equals hysteria.  No one has taken *any* action at all, but you think that stating an opinion (which you then add an exclamation point after), makes a person hysterical.  Ok.   I think your reaction to opinions you disagree with meets the definition of hysteria that you are applying.
The world would be so much better if people could discuss points they disagree with without marginalizing or gaslighting other people.  But do it your way.[/quote]
