“ if a similar contagion happened today, it could kill up to 80 million people and wipe out 5% of the global economy.”

I hope your family is doing better. If Ebola spreads out over here (even Trump isn’t banning flights from affected countries), either we are sooooo screwed, or only our first world practices will save us (except in the poop-riddled-sidewalks deep blue cities like Seattle, S.F. and L.A.)

The new vaccine has had some success in the affected countries over in Africa, IIRC. It’s time to start production for First World countries as well.

In other words, don’t drink the Civet cat poop coffee. At $100/lb, it’s probably not worth it financially, anyway.

That’s an airport job, not TSA.
