Ebola and other Epidemics, Inadequate Healthcare Threatens Millions

[Ed Anger]

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE

Am I the only person who consistently misreads this thread's topic as "ebola and other ebonics"?

[Eddie Teach]

Yes.

I've been doing some basic searches of the forum, and I'm kind of surprised how you never demonstrated this level of concern about the H1N1 scare of 2009-10, which was profoundly more dangerous than a blood and bodily fluid-born viral hemorrhagic fever. 

Fun way to spend your weekend.

In fact, with the exception of mentioning that the little missus drags her feet when it comes to flue shots, you did not participate in any of the H1NI/Swine Fru threads at all. 

I wonder why that is? 

I'm sure your "basic" search turned up that I abstained from this thread for quite a while as well.  I only took interest in it fairly recently.

In any case, the difference in death rate is what makes Ebola (70-90%) a bit more concerning than swine flu (0.02%).  But nice try on the race accusation.

My basic search turned up a post by you on page 1.

Lots of free time on my hands these days.

Not an accusation at all, just a statement of fact.  If these were white people were coming from Europe, you'd be inviting them to the CrackerFest '14 instead of isolation.

Sure, because there is no outbreak in Europe.

Chris Christie just let the quarantined nurse go.

Bandwidth don't cost nothing, and I have a human right to it.

So now apparently Christian pastors in Liberia are calling on the faithful to retaliate against local gays, as they are to blame for Ebola - a clear sign of God's anger.

Why don't we just cut all flights to and from Africa and let these savages die in their own filth? Perhaps in a few generations the continent could be recolonized, this time with civilised people?

[Eddie Teach]

You do realize there is a land connection between Africa and Poland, don't you?
