Yeah. You missed the FReeper who insisted that any American anywhere in the world with a full blown, body fluids flyin’ case of Ebola had a gawd-given right to a private jet for transportation to an American hospital for treatment.

People don’t realize what a true pandemic is.

My grandfather remembered the 1918 flu. He remember whole farms going fallow.

He was also just old enough to remember yellow fever, and a host of other bad things. Quarantine was common then.

Today, if someone crashed and bled out in the Mall of America, people would complain that they shut the stores down. We have no idea of what to do in a real threat.

That will, not might, hurt us.

Now, now, you know ebola isn't an airborne disease so it's perfectly safe to fly. Or at least that's what I read on here that Dr. Nancy Snyderman and Mz. Rice said. Hill's safe.
