Apparently the Ebola patient in Dallas may have lied on his exit documents from Liberia about having come in contact with someone who was infected there.

I think we need to INFORM the people, just a bit more... I say this because I struck a conversation about Ebola with a girl from school, and.... "Thousands?! Try MILLIONS! South America has had MILLIONS of deaths!"

This and because we can. A nation, a people are judged on how they treat those who cannot help themselves, be they their own citizens or citizens of other countries. It's the right thing to do, regardless of gratitude, perceived or otherwise.

In more serious news, Dallas is not falling into anarchy and mass hysteria, there's no big doom, no apocalypse, and definitely no out of control spread of Ebola. So y'all can calm down.

Yesterday night there was a storm which knocked out the entire county's electricity, but power is restored as of this morning. In other words, life keeps going and people are not dying in the streets.
