No, I wish the CDC would do their damn job. The CDC is specially equipped to handleof diseases like Ebola. This is what they do. I don't know why they left care of this patient to some random, obviously unprepared hospital in Dallas.

Well, we have an Infectious Disease Team and they do a good job. I work with the physician is the head of infectious disease control and she's doing her best to keep down any rising panic. Seems unnecessary to have to relabel it as the Ebola Task Force because people are being paranoid.

Duuude, this kid might be my favorite character. At first I thought he would be just a bit odd but he just busted out as all kinds of bat-shit crazy. I can not wait to see where the storyline with Twisty and Dandy

No, I was really into last night's episode but poor Meep's death* just crushed it. He clearly was a bit crazy (what with the biting heads off of chickens and all) but he didn't deserve that death. He obviously was non-verbal but I don't if he was able to understand what was being said/done. All I could focus on was…

Yeah, it's getting a little ridiculous around here. I've gotten multiple emails from work about Ebola. Apparently the hospital where I work has an Ebola Task Force.

I am totally blaming her as well the CDC. She has a background in a medical field and information about the spread of Ebola has been everywhere.

OMG, wait! WAIT! I have an image I've been waiting to use for YEARS!

Really? That actually makes me feel much better.

If nothing else, you'll be doing something positive for the world. :)

Ugh, I quickly change the station anytime that damn chipmunk Christmas song comes on.

I saw the documentary about her and I want to like her but her tiny voice hurts my ears and I literally didn't understand a single word she said. Was she speaking something other than English or can my brain not interpret her voice?

I dunno. If it's been a while and I had some sexy time with Evan Peters, you damn well better believe that insta-orgasm would happen.

I wonder if there's any correlation between the site and the number of incidents like this. I mean, you never hear about someone meeting a creepy, rapey dude from eHarmony. Craigslist is like the middle ground. Tinder just seems like a creepy dude hangout.

No, never. Just get a bunch of cats and call it a day. :)

That actually makes sense. I may be an anti-social weirdo though. I was never any good at getting from "we''re having a good time at the activity" to "let's hang out".

When I was single and having trouble meeting men, people always said to volunteer or go to the gym. What I found was that, as a woman, I liked activities that tended to appeal more to women. For example, when I volunteered in tutoring and working with the homeless, the volunteers were overwhelmingly female. The gym…

Based on all the articles you read about meetups gone wrong, it can be scary but I think the rules are the same as they always have been:

Got it. That makes sense. Unlike other viral diseases, there's no real latent period and you know exactly when someone's contagious.

It's less common but easier to transmit. HIV can only be spread through blood, semen, vaginal secretions, or breast milk. Ebola can be spread by those plus urine, saliva, sweat, feces, and vomit. Also by some animals which is why the infected Spanish nurse's dog is being put down, just in case.

Exactly. If a potentially infected person can get on the plane before showing symptoms, what good will this do?
