Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 64026092 United States 10/17/2014 01:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually if we ignore it it might actually go away in this circumstance. You know, cause its over hyped bird flu 2.0. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64050594 I remember the swine flu/bird flu hype here on GLP, and it was very similar to what we see now. You just have to ask yourself the question of whether or not you are ok with being wrong. Influenza is a nasty bug, but the problem with ebola is that it doesn't take as much viral load (not even remotely close) to cause infection. If you are ok with ignoring it, more power to you. |

It's flu season. Ill be careful and wash my hands often and avoid sick ppl. That's all I can do anyways. It's not airborne and as of now there isn't a vector anywhere near me. So yeah, I'm pretty relaxed about it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58670080 Yes of course. I can't shake my head more. It is natural to want to go where you probably won't die. Expect the temporary visa count to skyrocket. Fixed it. |

He's on coast to coast am and he just said there are 4 cases in Milwaukee and the kid at yale and two more nurses in texas. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52657553 Not familiar with him, but the most important thing is to read as much as you can, filter as much bs, and come to your own conclusion - not the conclusion media says it should be. |
