Wow, that’s extreme.
Pretty soon we will have medical checkups at our ports of entry like we did in the early 1900’s.

If this outbreak was in the US we would be advised where to pick up free mouth guards and plastic gloves so we could still kiss and shake hands....no matter what outbreak we are dealt...oh, and condoms...can’t forget those darn condoms....
Send the UN HQ there.
They won’t stop screwing so AIDS will be alive and well.
Sheesh!
Lizzie Warren is Ugandan.....when it’s to her advantage.
Prayers !
Ping!
