Remember when I was the scariest disease? I died out after a few years. Sure, thousands died, but so did I. Ebola will be the same.

You're still around, don't have an existential crisis on us. It's just that you've been driven back to infecting small populations of animals, and frankly, we don't care about them. Once in a while, a person gets bubonic plague, but you're so out of the loop, you haven't ever heard of antibiotic resistance...

there are 3 or 4 cases of plague every year here in new mexico. i think everyone survives it but it is bad for their long term health.

the question is why, isn't a top priority? Is it because the cure won't generate enough profits or something? Can some capitalist explain to me why the cure is being delayed?

On top of it being expensive and possibly being years away?

No, I'm certain that the government will be involved in some manner, so profits won't come into the equation.

And even if they did... It's EBOLA.

Again: only ONE American has so far died because of it, and the others have SURVIVED.

It isn't a top priority for many reasons.

It's not a priority FOR AUSTRALIA because there is no Ebola in Australia.

When are you planning to travel to Australia?

I'm not.

On another note, political correctness has gone too far. Refusing to accept donations because you don't like someone's Halloween decorations is just stupid. Everyone has their own way of dealing with serious issues, and people who want to help in their own way should be allowed to do so.

I know of one person who died of it, but that was a special case (research gone badly wrong coupled with the victim having a bunch of antibiotic allergies).

My country (Canada) will soon complete the cure for Ebola.

What exactly do they think I need to be "cured" of? I am doing fine.

That's because the Terminator is fictional. It's hard to kill people when you don't exist.

there was one poor couple a few years back who picked it up in new mexico then went back home to ...new York, maybe,...and their doctors there failed to diagnose it properly. undiagnosed plague is very bad news.

Ebola has gone quiet.

Silence is more alarming than sound.

Its been silent many times. You can't eradicate it...yet.

The current outbreak hasn't died down anyway. People just stopped paying so much attention to it. I'm a has been! But I am not worried. Someday, people will notice me again. Just look at Bill Cosby. People got bored and stopped caring about him for years, and now he is all over the news again.

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

Next up: blood from patient zero goes down the toilet and into the city's waterworks: do not drink any water.

You mean into the sewer? Waste doesn't go into the city's waterworks.

Well, there are some places where it does. Israel, for example, and due to the drought, São Paulo.

Well, for that you'd need to find someone to accuse you of rape.

Hmm... Does infecting people count as rape?

Maybe if you infect their privates.

There was the Ukrainian terminator, he was real, you beat his kill streak. He only killed 52 people.

Well, once someone is infected, it does tend to go there...

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

If that helps anything, I might eventually consent to you as long as you neither kill me or anyone next to me, nor leave my health permanently damaged. But this black widow stuff isn't really my thing.

I don't think it would work... Even if I didn't kill you, it's hard to control my children.
