Ebola thread: Chill out if you want to discuss it.

[PsychoIncarnate]

I had a customer that had been to Nigeria recently

The entire time I was thinking "ebola"

 

[Lore]

Jesus christ the fear mongering title. Changing it, calm your asses down.

 

[GreenBread]

Partially off topic here, but did you know that every time your brain remembers something, the memory is changed a little bit each time?

Huh. I do feel as if, this will kinda fade away like nothing ever happened.

You have just learned to internet.

Why doesn't this work for BSL-2 suit.

Jesus christ the fear mongering title. Changing it, calm your ***** down.

So the UN is fear mongering now?

The title was only a paraphrase of something the UN said, and was part of the title because it was the most recent thing said about the ebola by a prominent, respected international organization tasked with handling the response to the outbreak.

Ebola is a mere meme. I remember H1N1, 12/21/12, bird flu, etc.

"Mr. Banbury recalled WHO’s recommendation that, within 60 days of 1 October, 70 per cent of all those infected must be in the hospital and 70 per cent of the victims safely buried, if the outbreak were to be successfully arrested. Otherwise, he warned, the Ebola numbers risked rising “dramatically” and overwhelming the overall response."

While it's certainly important to get it handled in 60 days, the title was far too "paraphrased" in a way that made it just fear mongering. Chill.

Chill from an incurable epidemic that's spread to almost every continent and has a 90% death rate

I would say that cyclical fear of an epidemic is a meme, while Ebola is just the current furor within that meme.

Do you have any rational idea what you're talking about?

Doom! The end of the world

I wear a suit to work every day. So i'm protected.

I wonder, is ISIS worried about Ebola? What about the military?

ISIS is a tiny group.

It's a distraction so that way the USA can personally nuke every ISIS member and their family while they blast this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKJDAVvs_JA

I cannot help but read with the voice of Vegeta thanks to @ XDaDePsak . And if a cure of ebola could come around any sec that would be nice. Don't want to get sick when finals come around.

 

[XDaDePsak]

Even the mods are being hostile. Time to bail out of this thread.

Arent you supposed to burn the bodies? I mean, they do in Africa. that was it doesn't get spread by body fluids from the dead body? and doesn't get transmitted to animals?

Can't tell if you're joking. Sierra Leone is still getting ravaged by ebola right now.

[TimeSmash]

It's still a real threat, though the attention surrounding it has died down. Also since people have put up precautions and actually have measures in place, it's a lot less scary than it once was. I work in a healthcare field, and because of mandatory training stuff I had to go over the Ebola procedures too, though my job isn't really involved in direct interaction with patients. Because people are aware of how the virus is spread as well as having an actual procedure to deal with it, ebola is much less fear mongering than it once was.

What ISN'T ravaging that country?

 

[Crimson King]

But we should all be dead by now right?

 

[MrMcKonz]

FUN FACT: Ebola can now spread through eye contact.
