Ebola, kids exposed…do we need to be worried?

Did you see Dr. Justin’s blog? http://www.bundoo.com/community-blog/should-parents-worry-about-the-enterovirus-d68-outbreak/ Also, see Dr. Sara’s video: http://www.bundoo.com/videos/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-ebola-virus/. I believe we may have some more information from our doctors coming soon… It’s definitely worth keeping ourselves educated!

Ebola is very scary, that’s true.

This article has great information on the situation and why it probably won’t be a problem in the U.S.
