ebola only affects black people
I hadn't thought too much of it until our ER closed for a morning last week after a suspected case presented. It ended up not being ebola but made me think I needed to learn a little more....which I still haven't really done.![]()
we are all gonna die
Is it wrong that I think about it like "thinning the herd". I feel sorry the doctors are contracting it. Perhaps quarantining the area, and letting it run its course would stop the spread. When does walking dead come back on?
I wish someone would explain a little more what an outbreak on this continent might look like.
Like, I want to know if it Would it spread as quickly here. Right now it doubles like, every 15 days. The ROI is something like 2.5-3.5 right now. Would the ROI decrease in an outbreak over here? The CDC says that if it's not contained that it would be 1.5 million by January, and those numbers doubling every 2 weeks get doomsy.
I brought an itch home from TJ once
I caught "a" warts in teh Principality of Andorra
Some dumb asshole travels to a 3rd world toilet, infested with disease and famine, then brings his germs back here to pollute everyone else.
So we can assume his family members or at least some of them have been infected. So he infected at least 3 people, but who else did he infect during that ER visit and the 5 days he was symptomatic...
it wasn't who he travelled with because he wasn't showing symptoms then
and I was under the impression he was from Liberia visiting family here
and possibly not an American citizen, not a save the world do-gooder
and I'm probably right, a save the world do gooder would have told the ER docs that he had been to Liberia on the 26th and would have been isolated then probably... and likely would have alerted someone on the 24th on day one of his symptoms
I like the new and improved Pick3.
Guess we'll find out.
Jeez I wonder who this is... *rolls eyes*You should worry about obesity, not Ebola.
Oink oink

ololololololololo!
Oh god, he got sick on the 24th and went to the hospital on the 26th...they sent him home! Then he went back on the 28th.
So we can assume his family members or at least some of them have been infected. So he infected at least 3 people, but who else did he infect during that ER visit and the 5 days he was symptomatic...
^^^isnt he in Africa though?

Butt Barry said it wood be contained @ case #1
NBC News cameraman has Ebola, network reports - CNN.com
That's because cnn said 60% of Americans are most concerned about the economy

I kinda hope it spreads more.
I kinda hope it spreads more.
I'm one more case from going into lockdown
are you serious or joking?
Lol joking
But I'm taking the whole thing pretty serious. I'd rather look crazy now than look stupid if everything went bad.
ebola is sum serious shit
puts my hole "a" wart problem in perspective
I am too. I love how I've read that taking a dangerous level 4 one of the most deadly viruses known to mankind seriously is called "hysteria". I see comments from people on facebook comparing it to the flu and the media has overblown this, I guess some people don't like to cross bridges until they're burning? I don't know.
The CDC said that if it wasn't contained in west africa that we could be looking at 1.4 million cases by January.
Cases are doubling every 20 days we are at 20,000 right now (adjusted for unreported) with a 60-70some% death rate. So far we are at a 50% death rate in the US.
Granted we only have the two cases right now, but we've had two in two weeks and we aren't changing the way we do anything.

One case has turned into two in 14 days. I don't know. I'm taking it serious. I don't think its something I'm going to catch out and about this week, but I have a number of cases within 100 miles of me where I've decided to just check out and I'm not going to leave my house.
