The owner should absolutely embrace this ebola stigma and make fun of it by having ebola sales. If Cards Against Humanity can get 30,000 people to buy shit in a box, then this lady could surely get some folks to buy ebola dresses.

America: So much stupid.

I hate how Amber Vinson was presented in the media like she is some sort of irresponsible criminal or bad person for living her life and simply planning her wedding. She followed the guidelines of the CDC, she really was trying.

Wasn't there a story on here about an African (sorry, cannot remember which country) restaurant having to switch to deli style food because customers thought African cuisine = ebola? People are so dumb.

Yeah, it's tremendously unfair :(

Ahhh ignorance. Why learn something when you can just be a dickhead.

"This turn of events is incredibly unfair to Younker and her business but...yeah, you can see why people might avoid the store."

I literally signed up for Kinja so I could comment on the tone of this post which is frankly, fucked.

How can anyone see why someone wouldn't shop there? That makes no sense.

She's still got all that inventory... I really, really hope that she opens a new store with a new name and location and nobody reports on it, and it all goes really well for her.

Well, her brand is ruined, but if she opened up another store with a new name and the same stock, no one would be the wiser.

Nothing to do except rebrand and relocate.

I'd actually say most of the fault in cases like this lies with the media in general. The behavior of the CDC (while I personally believe it was reckless) was consistent with best practices for ebola quarantine. The coverage of ebola in popular media has been so atrocious that at a certain point you can't blame the…

"you can see why people might avoid the store."

"CDC permission or not, getting on an airplane after you've spent considerable time around someone with Ebola is arguably not cool...." So how should the US doctors and nurses caring for Ebola patients overseas get home? Swim?????

For fucks sake people, stop being so damned stupid!!!

Freaking coward customers.

I feel so bad for this poor lady.

yeah, you can see why people might avoid the store

This sucks. If she starts a new business I would donate to that kickstarter. I at least hope there's a way for her to recoup any debt/personal financial loss she's incurred as a result of this.
