Not sure about this one being false:
"New iPhone 6 devices have been contaminated with Ebola, and tens of thousands of people have fallen ill from them."

Oh man, I paid 199.89 for mine. But it came with a 3 month supply of dried goods and powdered food for the impending apocalypse.

Meanwhile, CDC has retracted its advice to be careful of sneezes. But the WHO is advising it now. http://www.wnd.com/2014/10/who-urges-sneeze-protection-while-cdc-retreats/

Maybe education is working?
Maybe people just realized that with all the panic and fear mongering no one seemed to catch Ebola in the US?
