Or perhaps they never existed in the first place.
Nah, my fan fic that I clearly remember having here, and a friend who used to come to smashboards can attest to that, no longer exists here. Therefore, there are posts that no longer exist on smashboards.

But if you don't have proof, how can you convince the court that they're real?

You and a few others, namely @CliffJumper, are on list.

And I'm checking it twice. :4santalucario:

Welp, apparently the first US case of Ebola happened...

We're ****ed.
We can contain it. If someone is just hooked up to IVs and treated for all the symptoms for a few days, your body kills it on it's own. If Ebola happened here, there would be way less casualties. That being said, it's no push-over. And it really sucks to get it.

Yeah. I would imagine that'd be the case. Though I'm pretty sure that we've had Ebola in the States before. It still sucks. But we should be fine for the most part.

Welp, which states has that Ebola? Also, we're not exactly f***ed. Like Seprix said, if it gets treated, your body can kill it.

Also, I rarely get sick at all. When I get kinda ill, it's just seasonal allegories and sinus.

Ehh, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it unless someone can show an archived version of my profile from 2003.

Well, unless it goes widespread. Then there are too many people to treat. But that's going to be harder to do, because a lot more people have clean water and wash their hands and overall living is much better.

People are dying by the thousands in Africa mainly because they aren't clean. They just can't afford it.

I think this strain of Ebola came from eating a monkey. Kinda like AIDS. I don't think I'll ever eat a monkey.

Me neither, I guess the only reason why they eat monkeys, because of maybe something like hunger.

I dunno all of them, but I think Texas is one of them.

Also, same here. Not counting seasonal colds, I haven't really been badly sick in three years.

Ebola has started spreading in the U.S. In Texas. Thank god, it wasn't in Virginia. It might spread to Virginia or any other states, not too soon.

Also, I'm not sure if only US and Africa has it.

I never meant to hurt you, Mister! The wrongs I've conjured were all mistakes. Never intentional! Please Mister, if nothing else- understand that. Please!

First US Ebola case was diagnosed in Texas.
:4greninja:'d
...Well ****! My absolute closest friend lives in Texas!

Oh god, I really hope she'll be okay...

So I just took a look at this. Figures it'd be some idiot that brought it from overseas somewhere. Why is that always the case? >>'

*As Mister walked away, Aura stood there, confronting himself of the error of his ways. He felt the darkness slowly take him in, as he descended to the ground. On his knees, he tried to gather himself, but it was of no easy feat. He got up, and returned to the shadows of whence he came, slowly his aura returned to what he was- what he is.*

*...And then @CliffJumper rode to the sunset with Krystal and had five hundred children- the end* :troll:

Maybe I'm just being overly positive, but I don't think we have worry that much. From what I've read, the disease doesn't appear to be that contagious, and that guy is apparently the only one that has it, and he's already in medical care. So like I said, I don't think we have to worry that much.

True, but at least Ebola wasn't contagious as other dangerous diseases that's going to cause chaos.

Heck, I got a fever in 5th grade, but I'm not getting symptoms of the fever. So I wouldn't worry about illness that much.

I'm not even kidding about the fever I got when I was in 5th grade.

I've never been on the Social thread. Figured the last page would be the best place to start and all I see is Ebola talk.

Ebola isn't airborne which makes a less contagious disease. Ebola is contagious through body fluids like blood, sweat, saliva, etc etc. Because we know that and know how to deal with that it's unlikely the Ebola would become a outbreak in most countries with medical knowledge and resources at it's disposal.

What Ebola more dangerous is not only being a poorer region but mishandling of the dead as the disense lingers after the victim dies so they handle the dead body and it spreads more rapidly. Many of those regions are also fearful or paranoid of western treatment methods restoring to more traditional methods that only make the disease even more rampant. There are alot of historical and cultural reasons for this.

The media outcry is what disturbs me about the whole situation. The media is causing a frantic panick over it and is giving false information about the disease for rather stupid reaons. This isn't even your normal political or economical situation where fear mongering has a political motive to it, so it just appears to be riling people up for the sake of rating traps.

The people that survived Ebola were selling their blood on the black market as a cure and other people were ingesting their blood

That's happening in other countries in THIS day and age

Well to be fair, western countries including the US haven't really done a very good job in the past of getting people in those regions to trust our intentions when dealing with the many regions like those currently suffering an outbreak. They resort to ignorant methods of handling their disease because they trust those more then they trust outsiders that have a tenacity to deceive or make matters worse. So when we do have people go over there to help for the right reasons many reject the assistance outright.

It's a very sad situation, and many countries are trying there best to beat back Ebola in the regions where it's at its worse. However, without that level of trust to use the powerful medical resources to slow it down, it's a difficult thing to stop.

Cool, new The Legend of Korra Book 4: Change Balance clips! The first episode is set to premier on the 3rd! Smash and Korra! Oh, and Prince Wu should be named Prince Poo - man, not only does he sound annoying, acts annoying, but looks annoying. Great job at making an annoying, prick of a character.

Edit: Forgot that it's Balance and not Change - that was Book 3.

You're right. There's really likely nothing to worry about, it's just more fear mongering. The entire thing could've been prevented in the first place if the WHO did their ****ing job and didn't allow anyone coming from any outbreak areas back into the states.

I think it's a bit more complicated then that, there are certain situation where it's better to bring certain individual back and treat them so we have a better understand of what we are dealing with and there are times where it simply has to be done.

The other issue is the point where someone becomes infectious does accrue until the more severe symptoms have shown themselves which means a couple of things. One it's very possible for someone to be infected and not know it until after they've returned back and generally if they are infecious their too sick for a plane flight. With that said at this point the risk of infection according to most sources I've seen put it still low even if people are returning from that region.

It leaves a very complicated issues, sure we can restrict those that were originally from the said country but it is harder to ask those that are going over to help like doctors and emergency workers from other countries to remain there when Ebola can be treated and contained in their home countries at a survival rate many many times higher then if they remained there.

True, but it still seems better to just not risk it in the first place. I guess it can help because unlike areas like Africa we have better health care and thus better ways to diagnose and treat it, which will help for any future cases, but as far as I know the strain that the patient in Texas has is 60% fatal. Better than the 90% fatal strains going around, but still risky if there is indeed an outbreak.
