The hits just keep on coming.
Of course it will do no good to stop travel from W. Africa. Just gotta get people in to take care of all of obongo’s people don’t we?
Geometric progression is a terrible thing.
I’m reluctant to even go get the mail.

I’m sad to say I’m concerned about church this weekend.
Do I go for communion? I usually sit in the back which means I’m near the end of the line. I have never liked the shaking hands bit, and will probably have to offend some people when I refuse and nod politely.
Or not go.

Good. Now that it’s in DC maybe these PC jackasses will get serious.
Or maybe not.

Can’t advise. that is, of course, a personal decision.
I’ll be doing a bit of praying that day also but I think the judgement has been made.

"Good. Now that it’s in DC maybe these PC jackasses will get serious." LOL. They'll abandon DC and bring it to their districts.

Nigeria? No way. TPTB said it was under control in Nigeria. He must’ve been a Liberian visiting or an undocumented slipping across borders.

Every country layover - he had two or three - should consider Ebola very serious.

Err on the side of caution, and don’t go.

St. Peter will give you a pass considering the reason.

Hey, the CDC bozo has declared we didn’t really need those billion dollar Level 4 Ebola units since any ol’ Podunkville hospital can handle it.

Thanks for the advice. I look fondly back on the days of not-so-long-ago where the biggest fear was picking up a cold at church during the winter months.

What? Nigeria?
Aren’t they supposed to have contained the deadly disease in Nigeria? Rachel Maddow said so herself last night - so it must be true! She even said that Texas could learn a thing or two from Nigeria on how to contain the disease...

Ebola? Leprosy? TB? Come one, come all!
Now, assume the position.
The system works! Have you missed me?
