Well, we can't have that. We need to release everyone in prison and in jail before this becomes an issue.

I’d say drunk and talking out of his head. Oh, and having been there a long time ago, I’ve had those “flu-like symptoms” after a long, late night.

It’s already been announced that his initial tests are all negative. He just wanted attention.

I think I’m going to stop commenting on this idiocy for the day.
This H1N1 all over and most cases turned out to be something else.

How long will it be before other newly arrested detainee prisoners demand their “Medical Vacation”?

I’m a prepper, like you but, this really is entering irrationality that really hasn’t any basis in probabilities.
Most people are dealing possibilities and anything is possible but, I live by probabilities and determined outcomes.
Maybe I should just go to the Ughhhh! thread and throw up...

“He just wanted attention.”
I’d cure him of his desire for attention.
I’d have him scrubbing toilets and showers (twice a day) in the jail for the duration of his stay.

I couldn’t help it.
I actually had to post an article and relate my experience with MRSA.
People are just acting weird on this Ebola thing.
