Is there a link for this?
Very worrisome if true.
Thanks for the explanation
Yes, but I'd be right there with you. I'll pray for you if you'll pray for me.
There’s never been so little faith in government, or more reason to be afraid.
This can not be true. We were told in no uncertain terms that Ebola could not spread in America because of our superior health care system and hygiene etc. etc.
LOL. I was thinking just the opposite.
