Surprised this information was released. Well maybe should not be surprised ... Sensationalism runs rampant when one listens to the lame-stream. Misinformation? I do not know.

So that which doesn't kill you won't make you stronger?

We have had friends with post polio symptons/syndrome, and they were miserable until they died.

I can’t say that I feel sorry for most of the American (or people in America) a-holes that seem to get the disease, or are very close to getting it, but I sure hope that Nurse Pham TOTALLY RECOVERS and never has to think about what she went through.

Not to worry! Our advanced medical system will make it all OK.

Can’t imagine having your body fall apart and miraculously return to pre-destruction status. Scar tissue?

When your eyes bleed, you’re going to have sight problems.

Like many infectious diseases, Ebola causes significant tissue damage, much of which is permanent.

It is just incredulous to me how many people take foolish risks with regard to infectious diseases—drink raw milk, refuse to take vaccinations—if the diseases don’t kill you, they can sure as heck leave you permanently debilitated or disabled.

Kaci's future? If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.


Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

I’ll bet a wad of cash that D68 will leave you seriesly bummin’ once you’ve beat it too. Polio is an enterovirus. D68 is All OBOLA’S FAULT.

That has a nice ring to it - Obola’s fault.
