Do I worry about terrorists doing stupid bad things? No, not really. But, I am concerned about the lack of response towards containing the current Ebola outbreak.
So........what can the average person do to really help?
#1 Pray - I'm a big believer in the power of prayer
#2 Give money - Getting money to organizations already in place to help is essential. The only way to get through any kind of crisis like this to support those in a position to help.
CNN published a list of organizations who are doing everything they can but need more financial support. Here's a link to CNN's list:

Personally, I like to support Red Cross/Red Crescent and Doctor's Without Borders. And, I donated directly to the UN response via:

If you are concerned about clicking a link on 'some random blog', then you can Google
"donate to UNF Ebola foundation".
Please consider doing more than just watching the evening news and chatting about in via social media.
Peace.
