Ebola is now in America, and Americans aren’t doing anything about it. One of the most recent carriers of Ebola died down in Texas, and I’m not seeing any mass riots like I expected. Ebola is the son of the bubonic plague, and that almost killed humanity more than a millennia ago.
This could very well be the end, and we aren’t even trying to contain it yet. We are too preoccupied trying to contain it in other countries, or more important, worried about George Clooney getting married privately in the Caribbean. God forbid we don’t hear about that.
We have all of these major conflicts and problems happening in the Middle East, and with Russia and the Ukraine, but we are more worried with petty things that happen here, like gossip and slander, and with elections coming up, no one hardly even talks about major issues with the world. When will Americans open their eyes?[continued]

What’s to worry? We all know it’s virtually impossible to catch, it won’t be coming to the USA, and if it does,
it will be stopped immediately by the CDC.
Every American hospital is equipped to treat ebola patients, and there is no danger at all to health workers or others in the hospital.
Why worry?
Yeah, the government is in control of the situation, not to worry.
We conquered infectious diseases decades ago, there’s always a pill or something you can take, and it’s probably covered by Obolacare! No worries! /s
“One of the most recent carriers of Ebola died down in Texas, and I’m not seeing any mass riots like I expected.”
Riots?
Is this satire?
He really expected Ebola riots in the USA?
Our writer may need a world geography lesson.
The Caribbean Sea is entirely in the western hemisphere and is not where Clooney, who does not have Ebola, got married.
It seems her was married in Venice which is on the Adriatic Sea, which is entirely in the eastern hemisphere on the European continent.
Bubonic Plague started in Asia in the 1330s, and in 1346 in Europe. Not “more than a millenia ago.” While I largely agree with what has been said here, the argument is not helped with inaccurate information.
I've been to Venice. It's on the West Coast. It's about 10 miles south of Hollywood.

Obola Apocalypse coming to a street near you.
Remember the british gave the indians blankets from small pox victims during the early years of this country. This is a biological attack on our country
Plus, the new czar is a leftist lawyer - he'll sue Ebola and keep it tied up in court forever.
Add as a minor point that “millenia” is the plural form of what he was looking for, millenium.
Thanks for the ping!
