I got tired of the pic already so Ad-Blocked it out.
Rather ‘phallic’....whatever the dictator is holding, there. (Not Zero, the other pretentious guy in white).
Just hystrical over reaction per some.
I’m seeing the opening credits of a good zombie movie where a world map goes from healthy to completely infected in short order.

There is nothing to fear but the fear of bleeding-out at all your orifices. I’m totally this close to buying the ‘Michoan’ sword from the nice folks at Atlanta Cutlery.
No. Cold Steei is better.

Still no new case or death statistics for three days. The last numbers came from the 4th.

Nigerian, suspected with Ebola infection, in Cotonou hospital (Benin Republic)
Benin Republic, Nigeria’s neighbour, has reported its first case of Ebola. The suspected victim is however a Nigerian. He is now receiving treatment in a hospital in Cotonou, the seat of government.
Health Minister Dorothée Gazard, an associate professor of parasitology and mycology, said on state television on Thursday, that a sample of of the Nigerian blood has been sent to Senegal for testing, .
The case is unconfirmed but Gazard’s announcement triggered widespread fears in the political capital Cotonou. Many people said they would stock up on food and stop eating at popular roadside food stalls to avoid possible infection, witnesses said.
Over 900 people have died in West Africa since the outbreak of the virus early this year.
What the hell is that thing? Looks like something that be inserted into the Usurper.
