Ebola in Texas.

Why is he sending the military to Africa, isn't that what the Peace Corps is for?

Thanks Jim! I feel better now...

Would you say you feel 100.4% better, or only 99.5% better?

I wasn't able to record the webinar, but it will be available on the School of Public Health's website in a couple of days. Synopsis: The CDC is scrambling to get their shit together, now that this has become real. PPE requirements have gone from Gown and mask to spacesuit. A minimum NIOSH N95 or better respirator is recommended. New guidelines for disinfecting surfaces, hand disinfection between each stage of doffing PPE. It sounds like they are beginning to take this seriously, finally.

So basically the same PPE procedures the CDC has been using in their own ebola labs for decades...

... but Obama likes the good little Socialists in the Peace Corps. If he sends the military, he gets to drag down the operational military budget, look tough on TV, and maybe kill off a few people who are trained to think and provide for themselves.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Ding ding... Let's add also that they can all come home and infect their loved ones!

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.
