Poll finds Americans misinformed about Ebola risk

A recent national poll conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health found that about 90% of Americans incorrectly believe Ebola can be spread through the air if an infected person sneezes or coughs.

 

The same poll found that about 50% of respondents are worried about a large outbreak in the country within the year, but 80% also believed they could survive Ebola if they received immediate care.
