My cousin’s little boy woke up today with all of those symptoms but he hadn’t been to Sierra Leone. He started back at school this week and has strep. Ugh. But you never know. He does live in the home town of the US Ebola doc.
I was at an elementary school this week and was talking to a child. I started walking toward her when she said, “DONT STEP THERE. there’s some throw up down there.” I couldn’t see it. It must’ve been already mopped up but still wet. The janitor was standing right there and said, “oh yeah. Walk around that area.” I had been talking to him and distracted him from his mission of keeping everyone away from the spot. Anywho, all I could think about was Ebola in schools after that. What a horror that would be!
Just like Brantly's kids were over there, there will be/are hundreds of missionary/volunteer's kids starting school now.
I'm thinking between now and as far out as Thanksgiving for the later ones coming back to wherever their home countries are to be the telling time.
