Canadian journalist in Japan tests negative for Ebola
I suppose it was inevitable the story would include Japan. I don't think of Japan as a big tourist destination. It's far, it's pricey. But journalists are well-traveled, and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the big news story of the moment. So I'm not surprised the first Ebola-related incident in Japan involves a journalist. It was either going to be a journalist or someone working in medicine. I wish him all the best on a simple human level, not because I'm afraid Ebola will spread in Japan. His chances of having Ebola are very slim, but the fear-mongering and confused response has not been our finest hour as people on this planet.
