"The government has ebola under control. Pay no attention to the duct taped cars"
Got a great deal on a used car for ya.
Oh, they all come wrapped plastic like that...
If it is not easily transmitted why are they plastic wrapping the car?
They shrink wrapped the car, but what about the maintenance man who was told to hose down the Ebola puke and the gal who was wading in the contaminated water with the sandals?
It’s been clownish as nobody seems to be addressing the problem soberly. How long will the virus survive on a surface in air?
What a bunch of retards.
So they wrapped plastic tarps over two silver compact cars in that apartment complex parking lot? The one that got sprayed by the pressure washer, which was an older Korean make with no license tags, and this newer Corolla? Or, did they only wrap a plastic tarp over one of them?
i gotta say the way this is being “handled” by the cdc and powers that be, i think they’ve been ordered to let this become a pandemic.
This is good for stocks.
Right?
They will run the car up into Arkansas, and for $50 dollars get a new clean title for it showing it was only driven to church on Sundays by a little old lady!
This is pure theatre. Just “optics” — a knee-jerk response to the (well-deserved) criticism that the all powerful FedGov really isn’t doing squat.
If this was actually a “best practices” response to a serious infectious disease, they would have done it DAYS ago. It isn’t.
Sounds more like a college prank than risk mitigation.
And the hits just keep on coming....
let us see.....in true Jedi mind trick fashion...
we are all supposed to forget that yesterday Juan and Pablo were outside powerwashing the ebola infested vomit down with a k-mart power washer. All while a village idiot girl pranced around in sandals nearby. Where no one wore hazmat suits of any kind.
THIS WOULD BE ALL KINDS OF FUNNY IF IT WASN’T SO SERIOUS.
DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID? OR CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY?
What about the ambulance?

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need 
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
And then they stuffed the car into a Rubbermaid Mega-Bruiser 800-gallon trash can and rolled it out to the street for pickup.
DANG!
