Ebola in Texas.

Another sentiment thrown around there was that given the likelihood that this will turn into an epidemic, it would be best to go get infected right now while there are still a good amount of resources to care for you and hope for the best. Best case you'll end up with some immunity to it... worst case, well if you catch it later on you're dead anyway.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I don't know, I think I've heard Nancy Pelosi and Sheila Jackson-Lee say dumber things. Then there's Diana Degette and her idea that high capacity magazines are used up once you shoot them.

No helicopter? No problem. Just board an airplane to anywhere you want.

My wife is a primary care nurse and she is already nervous about this. They finally started screening patients via the phone before letting them come in but not everyone is truthful on that which I don't understand. If you might have Ebola, don't you want them to know ASAP? Her bosses have a long meeting today about Ebola so steps are seemingly in the works. I'm nervous for her and don't know if I'd let her go to work if it gets bad.

This is a test of a person's integrity and honesty, at least half of the people tested will fail.

Duncan failed the test too. He had to know he had it, did he show even the slightest concern for his fellow human beings? NO, and he got what he deserved after he infected at least 2 other people. What a fuckin' piece of shit Thomas Duncan was.

Duncan is believed to have flown to the U.S. via Brussels on Sept. 20. United Airlines believes he took two connecting United flights that day to get to Dallas — flying from Brussels to Washington Dulles on Flight 951 and then from Dulles to Dallas-Fort Worth on Flight 822 the same day.

Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) says that Ebola is indeed airborne: http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-persp...otection-ebola

And did you see what happened in Cleveland? That nurse apparently made a stop in Cleveland, and now they're (over?) reacting: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...pped-city.html

The CDC is batting .000 so far. Complacency and overconfidence have put the public at unnecessary risk. It's difficult to believe that this level of incompetence is unintentional.

What did you expect? The CDC is based in Atlanta... I moved away from there to escape the idiocy of that city's population.

I am convinced their incompetence is the result of the Atlanta-esque "Fake-It til you Make-It" approach to life.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO RELAX The CDC is evolving in it's response to the Ebola Scare and like President Obama says it's merely a Junior Varsity disease
