US President Barack Obama told Americans on Saturday not to ‘give in to hysteria or fear’ over the deadly Ebola virus, calling for patience and a sense of perspective.
In his weekly address to the nation, Obama also played down the idea of a travel ban from West Africa, the epicenter of the outbreak, saying such restrictions would only exacerbate the crisis.
‘All of us , citizens, leaders, the media, have a responsibility and a role to play,’ Obama said.
