It's not hysteria when they are all backtracking on their initial summations. 3 hours ago CIDRAP confirmed it can be spread through the air, but just not where you are. You're fine. |
oh, wow. yeah, that's a huge mess, 4k deaths.
compared to malaria in 2012 that killed 600,000. or the typical month in american car crashes that kills that many.
and yes, i am fine. i don't work in the health care field with people with ebola, and haven't been to africa-and won't be.
the thing that gets me most, are the people saying this is all a conspiracy to kill off a bunch of people-they sure picked the wrong way to do it. other ways are much quicker and take out a lot more people. but let's not let all that get in the way of a conspiracy theory-cause they're really much more fun.
'so far none of the family or friends of Thomas Eric Duncan –- the first patient to die of Ebola in the U.S. –- have become ill. With their 21-day quarantine period almost at an end, it doesn't appear the virus had a chance to spread, he said.
"This is a terribly important lesson that virus is not going to run rampant in Dallas or anywhere else in the U.S.," Schaffner said. "Let's not forget that we've done some things right."'
oh, how boring....
