Ebola now in the states

[bacpacker]

Around here most folks that wear the mask do so while mowing. Not so much in public. I can see that starting to change should this start to spread over the country.

I also saw last night a report that the nurse on the cruise ship has tested negative. The ship docked in Galveston.

Ya everyone who was under quarantine was going to be released today. So all is well and we can go skipping off into the sunset. Why? Because we have an Ebola Czar who will save us from the boogie man according to our fearless leader...

Gives me the warm fuzzies.

Yep everything is now under control we can all get back to normal.....what about Africa? Don't worry about them they will never make it over here.... Trust us...even if you don't trust us it is too far to swim anyways.

Here are a couple of better links to the CDC

Good info. As I was reading these links and saw where they talked about bats and primates that can pass Ebola, it reminded me of something a friend of mine and I were discussing last week. How about mosquitos? I'm sure the CDC knows, but they aren't saying. I have heard several different statement of how long the virus lives outside the body in bodily fluids and blood........from 3 days to 2 weeks. I don't know which is the truth, but seems that if mosquitos can carry it like they do other diseases, we're in trouble.

I guess I'm going to get a can of pepper spray and some "OFF" and we should be fine now. .....................I give up. When it gets here I'm just going to neutralize the contaminate, that's it.
