New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie issued a series of tweets moments ago urging parents to talk to their children about Ebola and “calm their nerves,” and taking a dig at “people in public office” who have added to “hysteria” about the virus.

I want to say a few things to all of New Jersey. First, we are prepared. #Ebola — Governor Christie (@GovChristie) October 22, 2014
Second, there are absolutely no cases of Ebola here in New Jersey. #Ebola — Governor Christie (@GovChristie) October 22, 2014
Everyone needs to be calm. I know with all of this media attention it creates hysteria. #Ebola

Unfortunately, the coverage in the media is reaching our children. Mary Pat and I had to assure our kids, they are not at risk. #Ebola

It’s important that all parents listen and also talk to their kids about Ebola and calm their nerves. #Ebola — Governor Christie (@GovChristie) October 22, 2014
Also to people in public office, we need to be responsible and cautious when talking about Ebola. It’s not helpful to add to the hysteria. — Governor Christie (@GovChristie) October 22, 2014
Let me be very clear: New Jersey and its officials will not be in the business of stoking the hysteria. #Ebola

Newark is one of the five airports accepting travelers from the Ebola “hot zone” of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
