As reported on FOX NEWS Insider, 'Your World' audio technician Dion Baia said the photo was symbolic of how Americans feel. He also added that people felt that the CDC was not giving them enough information about Ebola, and that they were not doing anything to quell people's fears. According to FoxBusiness.com reporter Gabrielle Karol said that the media was to blame as well, as they were stoking a lot of the fears about Ebola.

Further it was added that this 'better safe than sorry' mentality could spread and raise collective fears amongst people in the US.
