More correctly, if real life is any guide...I’m recalling my brush with Ebola virus in Zaire. The nasty little bug was formerly confined to remote areas in the African bush, virtually unknown to the outside world because it killed off its hosts too quickly to allow for transmission to urban areas. No more. Improved transportation systems now allow it to hop a truck to Kinshasa, and board a flight to Europe, and bingo! Ebola outbreak in Paris.
Your brush?
Just how close was your brush?
