It is not that bad. Could it get worse? Anything can get worse, it just depends at what point we turn it around. 3 people contracted it overseas and were brought here, one to my very state (Nebraska).
You are just as likely to be killed somewhere by a thug/disgruntled person, struck down by a vehicle, or any number of ways. Live your life how you want, I'm not going to worry too much, I was a gunner in Afghanistan and didn't wear the gunners restraint whenever I could. I was just as likely to take a bullet as get thrown out of the truck (I was in Kabul, it was pretty dull). Enjoy the finer things in life like your family, protect them, but don't over think it that you can't enjoy it. |

I am paying attention to it, but I'm not worried yet. If no other people who this guy was in contact with come down with it, then it's fine. If it turns out that he infected somone(s) and they in turn infect some more people, then yes I will start becoming concerned. Hopefully they have done a good job of identifying people he may have infected and have them staying away from others. This right here. We're still weeks if not months away from seeing the full impact of any single case. |

You are failing to take the long view.
It scares the bloody hell out of me that ebola has been diagnosed in the US. I am not worried about contracting the disease. I think TPTB will contain ebola and retain control of the situation. That is what scares the bloody hell out of me. Because the next time there is an outbreak of some potentially fatal disease, the gov't will have the precedent of how ebola was contained to calm public fears--whether or not that calm is justified by the facts. The US government is very good at ignoring the differences between apples and oranges when that blurring of differences suits its agenda. And anyone who thinks that when it comes to disease, the only agenda our gov't has is the maintenance of public health and safety is a fool. However the ebola situation goes, it is a lose/lose for the American people. |

The Ebola Virus is transmitted when a person comes into direct contact with the body fluids (e.g saliva, blood) skin and mucous membranes of an infected person. It cannot pass through a mosquito as mosquitoes are not the natural host and it does not survive in mosquitoes So y'all just stay the fuck away from me and I won't have to start shooting. Win-Win.  |

Did the government lie about the size of last fiscal year's deficit? Is there any reason to believe that the trustworthy people in the government would lie about this matter? |

I read that book back in the late '90s. The problem is that until an autopsy shows the spongiform encephalopathy in the brain there is no way to know for sure. It is similar to creutzfeldt jakob disease if I remember correctly- I am not a doctor and it has been a while since I read it. The main thing I do remember is the incubation period and that is can enter the food chain including vegetables through fertilizer. It doesn't keep me awake at night, but I haven't forgotten about it either. They do a pretty good job staying on top of deseased cattle to prevent contamination, but with an incubation period that long can they really be sure? |
