No worries, you can’t get it from casual contact. We hae been told it is like AIDS, nearly impossible to pass to another person, as long as it is on US soil.

That kind of comment is becoming tedious and tiresome.

Maybe you could think of something original to say for once?

And this is what you get with gov’t agencies staffed by affirmative action initiatives. Diversity trumps competence.

When an Ebola outbreak occurs here in the U.S. then the question, "how could this happen in modern day America" will finally be asked.

My point: Nobody gives a rats a$$ UNTIL it affects them directly and actually burns their a$$. Once the roof falls in on them it is then that most people began to pay attention.

Hey, I think it is wrong to discriminate against Ebola victims...they should be able to donate blood, too!
