The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa

Postby Northdeigo » Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:31 pm

So yes, there has been an Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the worst outbreak of it. While I too tired to look up any links of this, two americans with the disease have been flown back to Atlanta for treatment in a specially designed medical unit. So, any thoughts?

The Ebola virus will be ineffective in the west.

Huh, so maybe all we have to do to get rid of diseases is ask them go away.

Maybe that's how we eradicated smallpox.

They probably won't listen unless you have me doing the negotiations.
