I fear that the implications of public hysteria regarding the spread of this disease may have serious impacts to the industry. Could this be a "9/11" type event that curbs the growth that we've been experiencing recently?

Airline stocks took a noticeable hit today (down between 4 and 6%)... I think the fear of Ebola is going to seriously impact the airline industry into the holidays. Not to mention the effect it will have on the economy. Whether the danger is real or if it's just being overblown, people are really scared. I'm wondering if stagnation isn't just a thing of the pat after all?

The impact will probably be similar to SARS 10 years ago (my unscientific guess), with the potential to go really bad if they (responsible parties) dork this up more than they have. Time for the experts and policy makers to stop beating around the bush.

Yup. This is all just the power vultures trying to grandstand and get attention before an important midterm election.
I was flipping through the channels earlier and Fox News had an "exclusive" look inside the Frontier jet that carried the nurse. Barf.
