" We're worrying about the wrong things, societally ..."
You've just hit the nail on the head. As a society, we are more frightened of uncommon things than common things, and thusly take ridiculous precautions against them. More people die from heart disease than from ebola, but people don't do the things to keep themselves healthier. More people die in car accidents than airplane crashes, but people don't drive safer. I've rapidly come around to the conclusion that humanity is crazy.
