So the dude in Dallas died. This disease has a 100 per cent fatality rate in North America.

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE

Uh, American hospitals are currently 3 for 4 on saving Ebola patients.

Ok. I'm now challenging this assumption. Everything I read shows there was one (1) confirmed ebola case in the US of A. And that person is dead.

1/1*100= 100

We've shipped infected Americans (I believe all had symptoms) back to the US to get treated.

He's right that it's 1 for 1 for black Americans though. :P

I'm not sure I'd consider him a black American given that he was not a US citizen but a citizen of Liberia.

The US has had 4 cases of Ebola imported from West Africa, and 0 cases contracted in the US (so far).  Thus, the US is either 3/4 or 0/0.  I don't think you can separate the Liberian from the repatriated Americans just because the Liberian was asymptomatic when he showed up.  He still entered the country infected.

Can Liberia ship some of the infected to Syria for treatment?  Two birds one stone kinda deal?

Then AQ will start shipping ebola infected around the world to spit in your food.

ISIS is too busy trying to load it up on Mexicans and bring it across the southern border, or haven't you been watching Fox News.

Don't worry, Gov. Hairgel will protect us.

ISIS is so behind the times. Forget Mexicans, they're not coming across the border. Go after the Guatemalan children.

Wasn't that because he 'jokingly' claimed to have Ebola himself? Don't shout BOMB! either.

A little common sense goes a long way.
