Hopefully it will spread throughout Texas and wipe that shithole from planet earth. Maybe Spray will catch it and he'll lose a bill or two.
Win-win.
The first Ebola case has been diagnosed in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today.
Although American Ebola patients have been treated in the United States prior to this diagnosis, they all contracted Ebola in West Africa. Ebola has killed 2,917 people and infected 3,346 others since the outbreak began in March.
The CDC will hold a press conference at 5:30 p.m. with the Dallas and Texas state health officials as well as officials from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. According to the Associated Press, a patient arrived at the Dallas hospital on Monday with possible Ebola symptoms and recent travel history to West Africa. The patient was being kept in isolation until the CDC could confirm the diagnosis.

Or we could just send the Ebola patient to DC and improve the entire 50 states at once.

The "professional writer" is still using "hysterics" in place of "histrionics"?
To the topic -- guess I'll reluctantly cancel my vacation to Liberia.

Yes, well...with any luck he'll perish in a bucket of ebola-tainted mop squeezings and spare us further inanity.

That ebola sure moves fast. Can it catch a football?

This news is giving me the urge to stab somebody to death and not play around with their blood.

Actually, it is a very real possibility for Islamofascists to bring Ebola and other deadly diseases into the United States. Nigeria is home to Boko Haram, just one of many Muslim groups who'd cheerfully employ a suicide bomber to carry out an attack against us. To purposefully infect someone, send them over here, and have them mingle in a major metropolitan area would be devastating to our public health system. CDC has alreay admitted we are not prepared for a major disease outbreak. So, yes, we should be very concerned about this particularly as we come into the cold and flu season where those symptoms could make a deadly contagion.

Fortunately, it takes a little more than "mingling" to spread Ebola. Now, if they sent an infected suicide bomber and detonated him a couple hundred feet over Houston, we might have a problem. Or not.
