Really hoping I can look back a year from now and laugh for being an Ebola tard.

Same thought here, but I'm thinking probably not.

Wouldn't that be great.

The GLP effect always wins.

2012 - Years of the 'GLP-E' saved us from calamity.

Comet Ison - On a straight line course for Planet Earth, carefully steered by the only thing stronger than HARPP, 'GLP-E'

Climate Change - TBD
Ebola - TBD

Maybe the glp effect works for ebola.

Yeah, if it was the ol Yellowstone, Planet X, solar flare doom, ok, fun to talk about, highly improbable. This shit though, the most I thought it would do is fuck with Africa for a while.

:1yoda1:

I hear ya, bro.

Im an hour or so away from you and the thread about a case in Indy made me blurt out "Shit!!!"

Try to keep a cool head, freaking out wont be beneficial.

Doom isn't as much fun as it was a couple weeks ago.

I don't come here for entertainment anymore-not now.

News, just news.

I am hoping the same.

Not a fan of this type of doom...

All my family is here and I've tried to get them to listen. Its like when you watch a horror movie you're all into it, but when you get up to take a piss you're like "phew, just a movie". After I watch the news I can't say "phew' make believe"

I completely agree! What is so scary to me is it can pop up anywhere, at anytime now. The next thread of uncle intel could be my town, or yours.

Chin up pal . Life is never easy but who the hell would want to live it if it was ? Ebola is just another of thousands of risks we humans take each day as we travel along our journey .

Chances are you will pass down the river of life and never meet it face to face . Most people that buy guns etc never have to use them , this is no different .

It's good to be prepared and understand the odds but fruitless to let it rule your standard of living when you are not affected by it on the level that counts.

The fight for life . carry on enjoy life as best you can and stay informed but not paranoid of shadows on distant walls . That is the fools path .

an ebola haiku:

I hoped for a laugh
however ebola won
I frown from the gave

Well, it hasn't changed my everyday life except I stopped sniffing seats on the greyhound busses. In all seriousness though, I work downtown in a large office building and I'm getting real leery of touching anything. The cankle-saurusses I work with get me sick anyways each year.

Me too! My wife will be graduating as an RN at the end of may 2015, and I've got two dogs. Fuck it either way, I'll support her 100% no matter what she does. There's worse ways to die, though I had never considered a hemorrhagic fever fever as any kind of real possibility; such is life. You know, sure as shit, if the hypothetical numbers of infected/dead play out, any young, new nursing grad is going to the front lines, if they want to work in nursing.

I was looking at some lists in the fridge and wondering if they would be just as important this time next year. I actually caught myself thinking I needed to lock in the memories of random mundane life because it's going to be different. Why I thought that I don't know. Just feeling a little sad. I relate to the earthquake doom and whatnot, it's fun to talk but...this is just screwed.

My wife is an ICU nurse and she's pregnant. I tried explaining this to her and she says more people die from other stuff like heart disease and diabetes. I was like, wtf, pretty sure Wilford Brimley wasn't contagious. This is slightly different hun. I think the people that dismiss this have some sort of stress coping mechanism in their brain that tries to minimize the threat so they don't break down.

I think most of us are going to be okay.

i hope so too.

I hope so as well... On the other hand, I've done what I can to be ready, just in case!

At least 40% will be.

by "this type of doom" , I assume you mean, Real doom.
:Manson:

I don't think I would be okay, even if I had survived ebola, if 60% of everyone else died of it. I mean, there are too many services I need from other people.

October 2015: Nearly 100 million people in the world will have died from Ebola


IF there is no effective vaccine and effective quarantine protocols are not followed.

My only hope is I make it though the final season of The Game of Thrones.

BUMMING YOU OUT? I am so sorry you are bummed but I have one question....WHY ARNT YOU PISSED. your getting lied to..my area is about to have a state of emergency declared and your bummed. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU. WE ARE ABOUT TO BE SYSTEMATICALLY M U R D E R E D. DEPOPULATION BUDDY.FIGURE OUT WHO IS BEHIND THIS SHIT AND GET FN PISSED ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING.

my wife has me missed to all he'll. Despite my watching this evolve over the past months and forcing conversation about it and educating our sons on how to try to protect themselve..what does she do...she takes a vacation day and goes to a popular casino for Dallas patrons. If I get sick I am going to aim everything coming out of me right at her..asleep or awake I tell you. I married a dumbass..wth

It amazes me how fucking stupid gullible and naive u all are i was laughing at u ebolamorans from day 1 in one year im going to write a book on mind control using u ebolatars as my case in point

I've talked to family members about this. They don't want to do anything that would change their standard of living. Like if I can't live like this, I don't want to live.

Hard to protect these people.

And yes. We're all being murdered. And the lack of any kind of response is an indication that yeah, perhaps we deserve to be murdered.

If a killer walks at you with knife raised at a foot every minute, and you stand there watching for 15 minutes, and he eventually gets to you and slits your throat, your standing there is an indication that you wanted to be murdered.

How can you even fault the murderer?

Yeah I feel the same, nobody I speak to about it here in the UK seems to be taking it seriously. Its worrying I have the feeling when it does reach here there will be a mass panic. Typical Brits stoeic and unwavered until it affects them! Then general panic where all British values get thrown out the window quite literally, and we run about like hooligans looting and burning down our own city's lol.
