I realize you’re joking. But there are noted behavioral abnormalities in ebola patients. I wonder if the urge to be social is one way it spreads itself. Hmmm

Isn't there a disease or parasite that infects mice and then destroys their instinctive fear of cats, the preferred host of the thing in question? So it's not unheard of here on God's green erf.

In that case, we're all dead. Ebola will outsmart everyone, especially the social media generation.

I got that from the thread on the nurse that jumped on the airliner. Others also said similar comments to yours, that maybe it triggers an instinct to want to be in crowds. I think the word is gregarious, like herd animals when they feel threatened.

“behavioral abnormalities in ebola patients”

Yes - irrational behavior

Under that theory, Dr. Nancy Snyderman probably has it. She is not returning to work even though her 21 days is now up.

I wonder where they are hiding her? Maybe they booted the camera man out early to make room for her.
