CNN staff have been accused of making light of the deadly Ebola outbreak by posing for a photo while larking around with two men dressed in Hazmat suits.

Twitter users accused the three New Day anchors of mocking the Ebola crisis after CNN senior producer John Griffin posted the picture on social media.

The outfits look more like something from Mike Rowe's “Dirty Jobs”. I wonder if this photo was really for his new CNN show and some intern turned it into an Ebola joke.

People have noticed that the one moonsuited guy looks like he’s giving Cuomo the bird, right?

Excellent!

The sad thing is how much death and destruction will need happen before people get a clue...

Even sadder is the exponentially worse outcome if they don't.

.. or refuse to, as seems most likely.
In which case the choice will be either CW II or Somalia II.

Yes, it is definitely the index finger. You can tell by looking at the knuckles. The longest knuckle is the one connected to the middle finger, and in that photo, you see the knuckle below the pointing finger extends further than the knuckle above it. Therefore, the pointing finger cannot be the middle one, it can only be the index finger.

What is above it, that looks at first glance like the knuckle of the index finger, is actually his thumb, with the tip folded behind his index finger.
