Ebola coming to a town near you.

Apparently fish and north Korea are to blame

And moon dust

The Dear Leader has cornered the market on moon dust.

[zack1234]

Yes it reduces body mass

Moon dust is a myth because no one has landed on the moon

[guncrasher]

an American infected a country in africa.

The Dear Leader will do so in the near future to set up the DPRKLP (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Lunar Paradise).

Are you seriously using the case of Patrick Sawyer as an argument against restricting flights from Liberia?

[zack1234]

He is!

My word!

Not so! I have a small vile of Moon dust that was given to me by Chuck Yeager!

For me it's just frustrating to see the roadkill and spin coming out of the american media, when the rest of the world is trying to get people to take it seriously. We have the head of the CDC saying stupid toejam like "Ebola could be the next AIDS" And I read in a CNN article titled "Ebola: What you need to know", "Ebola is actually very difficult to catch". Horse toejam. Mononucleosis is more difficult to catch than ebola and everybody in the world gets mono. So it is relieving to see the WHO go public with some real facts in non-subjective language.

It reminds me of Fukushima. For days after they were still denying meltdowns. "at this point there's just no way of knowing how bad it is... worst case scenario the fuel has over heated and started to melt" Worst case scenario?? That's the ONLY diddlying scenario when a live reactor has no effective cooling. Any lay person with a basic rudimentary understanding of how a nuclear power plant works knows that.

You would have to had landed on the moon to have moon dust so your a big fat liar

Zack, Zack, Zack..................Don't be jealous of the U.S.A. just because we did what no one else could or has.  Besides i hear that your country is attempting a manned landing on the sun next year, they have solved the problem of the extreme heat, and it was simple engineering.......you boys are going to go at night!  Genius, pure unadulterated genius.

not but as an example of you never know where ebola is coming from.  like I said before it could be the guy that had coffee with another guy who thought he had a cold in paris or London or anywhere else and flies back to the united states.

well he did infect another country.  and dont forget those other doctors we brought here knowing they had ebola.  all it would take was an oops that went unnoticed and then we would have an outbreak.

Knowing ...... is not .... unnoticed.

That is an even stronger argument for banning travel into the US from West Africa.

Precautions are like armor.  They don't preclude everything, but they cut down the probability of a bad event.  An effective precaution is one that gives much more value in protection than it costs to implement.  Banning travel into the US from West Africa is simple to do.  5-10 African countries have already done that.

In my view, it is completely stupid and irresponsible not to have a travel restriction in place.
