I'm a former EMS/first responder, working scientist, and great-grandfather, here.

You are the one hung up on faggots, but you can't see the people in your cafeteria picking their nose with the little plastic gloves on. Have fun with that.

Sure, the homosexuals will likely die in droves, but that won't be limited to them--and most of them seem to have a death wish, anyway.

It's the average people, the 98% who are already clueless about pathogens, and who will get infected by their habitual behaviours. We've had two, nearly three generations who have been accustomed to antibiotics taking care of most everything, and they are the ones who don't practice good personal hygiene.

Pull your head out of your scrubs and observe the rest of the world--they'll go like flies if this stuff gets out and people who keep harping on the 'gayness' of vulnerability will just make it easier for the average schmuck to spread or contract it because the average schmuck has been conditioned to think of "bodily fluids" as blood, semen, or vaginal secretions--they don't think of surfaces contaminated with sweat carrying a viral load.

Normalcy bias? No.

I am successful at what I do because I readily adapt to changing paradigms depending on locale.

Keep your ICU, pal, I won't be anywhere near it. Why, there are sick people there!

RIP....America!

You keep fiddling and adjusting to your paradigms oh “former ems first responder” and I’ll probably contract a disease from a paradigm shift progressives couldn’t cover up or put a political spin on. I don’t see my self cutting and running when plague victims of all sorts of backgrounds should start flooding out hospitals. Yeah even the “fa——s” you think I’m hung up on.

I am looking at the situation in terms of most likely early vectors not from a moral view point. That includes IV drug abusers as well as heterosexuals engaging with multiple partners in high risk sexual practices. From those vectors the disease can and will spread. Americans are better fed and have better immune systems so many could well tolerate the early symptoms, not feeling as sick early on until their systems just crash.(thus continuing their risky behaviors while actually already carriers) Many cases may be atypical, just passed off as the flu and they seem to recover(but remain a carrier for several months) because our nutrition is generally better so some folks just won’t get as sick. It’s the atypical cases, the silent “typhoid Mary’s” that will be a problem and we will have to learn identify them early.
Now perhaps all will go well, the disease doesn’t get spread, it just dies out because enough folks get a clue and the disease in these African nations where it is rampant gets contained via proper controls and the two Americans to be treated in Atlanta are quarantined properly by the American doctors and nurses who aren’t necessarily accustomed to the extraordinary barrier measures needed to protect themselves. Maybe it will all just be peachy keen....
You also know the crowd that has been running things in DC and you also aware of our border situation and the illnesses amongst our “new friends” that our border agents and other personnel have been exposed to and are contracting as well, from these vectors. Obama’s crowd has been quite busy setting the world afire from North Africa to the Middle East and having quite a bit of fun bearding Putin as well! Now they’ve got this new “Ebola” toy to play political games with, like children with matches!

RIP....America!

( I hope you remain clever with your paradigms and you stay safe. I just have bottoms to wipe and mucky trachs to suction!)
