Ebola has been researched for 40 years and despite what the CDC claims, we do know how it’s transmitted and how to treat it. The problem is idiots who insist on eating infected meat, kissing all over infected corpses, stealing patients and blood soaked linens from clinics and those leaders who are still in denial. Band Aid isn’t going to help a thing when so many are stuck on stupid.

From what I understand, the virus may have mutated so that it now can be transmitted through the air. There is still a great deal of uncertainty as to how to transmit the disease. I surely wouldn't trust Obama, the CDC the NIH or any of the talking head experts who have been all over the TV lately.

My point is that these celebrity charity efforts usually don't do much, if anything, for the cause. I remember reading that Band Aid, Live Aid, Haiti relief and others may have netted a paltry sum for the actual cause. The bulk went to “overhead,” “expenses” and what not. In the case of Haiti, I believe most of the money and supplies ended up in the hands of corrupt government officials and gangs.

If I'm going to give to some charitable endeavor, I'd give to local cause. Why should squander my limited resources for hellholes of poverty, superstition, corruption and greed?
