I am not spreading doubt and fear. I am just wondering if anyone has Ebola on their minds and how if might affect the real estate market.

As a pre-med student Ebola should not be an issue in the United States. The reason it's such a huge issue in Africa is because of their medical facilities being so far behind ours as well as their own religious practices. Clinics with no running water, and families that want to keep the bodies of the dead cause problems for the rest of the community there. Even in Dallas I doubt anyone's going to be selling their houses and packing up any time soon, the speculation of imminent terror is much more severe than the virus itself, in the US at least.
