Hemorrhagic diseases have a lot of gooeyness that is squicky.

22

I’m old enough I can remember when we went into this kind of panic over AIDS back in the early eighties.

23

While i think the level of hysteria about ebola is ridiculous, as a general principle i would be far more worried about getting ebola than getting SARS.

The death rate from ebola is around 50 percent, while the death rate from SARS was below 10 percent. And the number of confirmed worldwide cases of SARS was lower than the number of confirmed ebola cases in the current outbreak. In the case of SARS, also, the most serious risk by far was for people in the usual problem groups for flu and pneumonia (infants, the elderly, people with respiratory problems), while ebola seems able to strike down and kill even strong, healthy adults.

I saw Stone Cold Steve Austin on TV once. I better quarantine myself just to play it safe.

This woman spent time in Texas … TEXAS!!!

Forget about ebola.If that isn’t grounds for firing, I dunno what is.

I have a co- worker who roots for the Dallas Cowboys. I now fear my job site.

A Doper from Dallas replied to a recent thread I started. I hope my laptop doesn’t catch the Ebola virus.

34

My best friend’s brother-in-law is named Dallas. Is she going to die??

35

I was just able to stop my wife from renting Dallas Buyers Club. Whew. That was close.

36

I’ve read about Dulles Airport, although I’ve never been. But that’s close enough to Dallas, right? I could get paid leave from caretaking, yes? Please?

37

I’ve got Ebola to the east, Spinal Meningitis to the south, idiots to the north and nothing but water for thousands of miles to the west. I am so doomed.

I’m supposed to fly Frontier Airlines in two weeks; that’s the same airline as the 2nd nurse took. Even if it’s not the same plane it’s the same airline. I’M GONNA DIE!!! :eek:
