Some of us have seen enough “oh, most likely nothing will happen” turn into “OMGWTFBBQ” to warrant making noisy dire predictions in the hopes that doing so will help motivate warding off the problem (which, yes, has worked in the past - see “Y2K bug” among others).

Yeah, Ebola will likely come to nothing. A handful will die an agonizing horrible death, a few more will suffer but survive, and most of us will go on yelling about the sky falling whilst living normalcy bias.

A few decades ago another highly preventable terminal disease went pandemic to the point of gaining its own civil rights. Don’t underestimate how unsanitary a lot of people can be.

I was talking to a manager of a local convenience store the other day. He's from India and
has lived around the world in various places when he was in the medical field. Even he said
that here in America there's no way a pandemic could happen because of the sanitary conditions
Americans practice. He was hard to understand but that's about what he was saying.

He brought this up because one of his customers works at the hospital where the nurse
is being cared for, she was scoffing because they had over 20 people caring for one person
and told him about it because of their common relation in the field. All this is over dramatized.

I agree with him not after he told me but I've been aware of this since the Obala
scare began by the MSM and their trumpeters.

Most of us in our posh perfect worlds have no idea how people in those countries live
and how dirty and unsanitary their conditions are. They have open sewers, no hot running water
and probably take a wash once a week. The smell would be sickening to most Americans and Canadians.

Oh, and Obola wants to bring in over 1-Million uneducated Haitians.
Yea, that's not going to beneficial to America. "Those people"
are just plain nasty. I can judge because it will effect us directly.
