"...and "malaise" (a feeling naturally associated with impending doom)."

OH! Ebola=Morrissey! That explains SOOO much!

(Too soon? Hehehe)

I'm going to be blunt.

It's so great to see you continuing to blame someone for living their life, Jessica, after they checked with both their superiors and the CDC on the risks of taking a commercial flight/travel. The agencies to blame are the hospital and the CDC, not Amber Vinson, and you are continually raising the fucking fear flag on…

Sweat is a very poor carrier of Ebola virus, as is saliva. While the virus has been detected in both, there are no actual documented cases of tranmission based only on contact with sweat or saliva. Basically, there is not enough virus present in either to transit the disease until the late stages when the virus…

This doesn't make sense. She was already in Cleveland when it was discovered the first nurse was infected. Up until that point, the nurses thought they were following protocols that would keep their risk of infection very low. Why in the world would we expect nurses to never go anywhere simply because they've been in…

Yeah I kind of think it is bullshit too. This nurse was (unknowingly) putting herself at risk of catching Ebola by doing her job, using what she was told were proper protocols for minimizing risk of an infection that everyone says is difficult to catch. I don't think we need to vilify her; I think she deserves…

Ebola only lives for a few hours on external surfaces like counters and fabrics. Essentially, when it dries, it dies. Sweat is also (one of) the least hot of bodily fluids, in regards to Ebola. A milliliter of blood might have a million active virus particles, but sweat often has NO active virus particles whatsoever…

We're gonna end up with an epidemic of Psychosomatic Ebola if everyone who is panicky and fatigued gets to Googling. This whole thing reminded me how much fun that iOS game Plague is, though, so that's something.

I am also very uncomfortable with how Jessica Coen is writing about this nurse. How does she know that the nurse was just thinking about her special day? I traveled to plan my wedding because it allowed me to see my fiance too since we were living apart and we were getting married were he lived. She was told it was ok…

You missed my point. The CDC is telling her "you're fine to fly!" and they're supposed to be the experts on stuff like this. I wasn't saying she should have flown, I was saying I could see how she second guessed her own judgment and did what the CDC told her was ok to do. Also, she was already in Cleveland when it was…

You were on a plane back home to Dallas from Ohio and felt like shit? I would think it's pretty possible it could have just been sinus/allergy issues going to completely different weather in Ohio from Texas. Half the time I visit the Midwest and come back home I feel like complete shit.

Look, I get your complete disdain for the wedding industrial complex. I also think it makes people very stupid. However, your scapegoating of an individual like she's some sort of Typhoid Mary is really getting disturbing. If she had flown to Ohio for, let's say, a funeral of her beloved father, would you be as…

This is all a bit ridiculous.

I would love to know if all of these nincompoops who are (non symptomatically) shitting their pants in terror over Ebola have had their goddamn flu shot?

Just think of every person who using their phone while driving, has a glass of wine or beer and drives, doesn't get enough sleep and drives, reaches back to give something to their kid, reaches down to pick something up off of the floor and drives.

I definitely think that the best course of action would have been for her not to get on that plane. But, I can absolutely see a situation where the freaking CDC is telling you that you're fine to travel and you start to second guess your own judgment. Vinson may be a nurse, but that doesn't make her an expert on…

Ebola wouldn't have been my first choice to fight the Wedding Industrial Complex, but it certainly seems effective.

I'm not seeing the problem here. She signed on to defend a client knowing when the hearing was (right?). The judicial system doesn't have to make amenities for leave of any kind legally. Her employer does. And as a self employed person that is her. I mean if this same judge let it slide for other lawyers on medical…

I don't think it's the place of a comic book movie to change a character's outfit.

Does his penis magically bend backwards ?? How dis work ??
