Wait, will this "Ebola" kill off the zombies?

Nope. It's creating them.

Yup, death is near (well, according to the news I am sure).
I heard this person is a relative to a person who was on the plane with the infected lady, and this is inside the incubation period.
That's a pretty damn slim (as in zero) probability chain. Pretty much certain over reaction (I wonder how they even knew this random vomiter was related and how they came to the conclusion)...
... more to come I am sure. Worse then under reacting, but still.
(They are now reporting they don't even know if the family member was on the same plane!, argh.)
I'm not even faintly worried about getting it.
I do think the hospitals, CDC etc need to tighten up their acts since this thing seems to be easily contained and is in its very early stages in this country.
RE: Fearbola. The news people aren't helping at all. The first nurse infected is being moved from Dallas to NIH in Bethesda tonight. The DC news is all over this and their coverage is both hilarious and frightening at the same time.
Reporter: "The plane will land somewhere here at the airport"
Fact: There is only one runway at the airport that plane can land on, the other is too short.
Reporter pointing to plane parking area in front of tower: "The patient will be transferred to an ambulance right here. The ambulance will go thru here (car parking lot at terminal) to get to the interstate.
More likely: The plane will taxi back to the middle of the runway to meet the ambulance at the access road to the tower(about 1/4 mile from where the reporter is standing). From there it will take the back road out of the airport that is also the access road for the State Police and Sheriffs Office and get on the interstate at a different interchange than the reporter indicated.
Reporter: "No one knows why the Frederick Airport was chosen.
Facts: Frederick is the closest non-commercial CONTROLLED (with tower) airport to NIH. Frederick police/fire/EMS already has protocols set up for this with Fort Detrick on the other side of town(they already did this a couple weeks ago with another possible patient). They get to practice this stuff 2-3 times a year when the President lands here when he is on the way to Camp David and the weather is bad on the mountain(Bush 1 used to fly from Camp David to Frederick to watch minor league baseball games frequently).
Hello 911, I was on the same highway as that Eboler gal and now my head feels warm. Send me an ambulance please.
I thought it was Lazyitis.
Over the past 15 years, I've been told by "experts" to fear SARS, MRSA, bird flu, swine flu, Y2K, al Qaeda, global warming, bankers, Republicans, cops, the knockout game, WMDs, violent video games, ISIS, peanut allergies, crazy kids with guns, illegal Mexican immigrants, Obama, meth-heads, sudden infant death syndrome, and hydraulic fracking.
As a result, I fear nothing but Miata short-nose crankshaft failure and the wrath of God.

Meh, Miata engines are cheaper than taking the whole family out for a nice dinner and God is only scary to people who were told to fear magic by "experts".
There is only one thing you really need to be afraid of and that is these...

I thought the Harbinger worked for the Reapers?
I've been eating a lot of crap this week as I am bounced from shift to shift so today I decided to try something nice for lunch. This kinda pricey deli/salad shop/buffet near today's post. The place is spotless and I fixed myself a little biodegradable recycled container of roasted turkey and some sides and get in line and the woman next to me asks if I'm afraid I'll catch something eating off a buffet with the Ebola and such going around. I said that would be just my luck that the one day I eat health I would die. Shoulda gone to McDonalds.
It is kinda funny I live in the middle of no where in Oregon and even here Ebola is all anyone is talking about basically. Heck even our little hospital that we have here is coming up with plans and protocols for ebola even though the chances of it coming here are fairly slim.
At work I have people panicking about it all the freaking time.

Oops. I haz the panix.
Should have taken the shot from further away
In reply to chada75: Dude the knockout game is 4Real!! Also look out for cars with their lights off at night, it could be wannabe gang members and when you flash them the brights they will pound you as gang initiation! Is Halloween cancelled yet?
Also I replied to the wrong post. There seems to be something red in my eyes. AAAH!

All those things are real and could conceivably kill us. You could also be crushed by a falling safe which is why I won't wear a Susquehanna Hat.
