Remember the U.S. Ebola crisis? The only epidemic was fear-mongering

Could it be that it was a non-issue because of prompt and harsh responses like isolating a guy getting off a plane?
yeah, the fact that we dealt with it thereby diverting a catastrophe might be something to consider eh?

There is no evidence of anything remotely catastrophic about ebola.

The fact you even believe there could be just validated my point about how badly people were misinformed because of the hypermania.

And you accuse others of ignoring science. While easily contained, if ignored or not handled properly, it can spread. Example: Africa.

Which African nations did you volunteer with during their Ebola catastrophe? Know anyone who did? If a loved one of yours was dead, or you were nursing people with just a mask on your face you would think it was fairly catastrophic.

It's just all about perception.

I began reading about Ebola 30 years ago. You may draw whatever conclusion about me being misinformed due to hyper-mania that you wish, it matters very little. Talk to some front line health care providers...you know, the ones who were going to have to deal with it without the proper equipment and protection. See what they have to say.

I don't know what information is leading to your conclusions, it may well be good information or it could be your opinion is based on little to no information.

That doesn't matter much either really.

There was no catastrophe because the mismanagement was quickly corrected and they got correct procedures and protocol under control. That fact is a positive that bodes well for this and other diseases that will begin to make themselves known. Other than that *shrug*, we made it...it's a good day.

Yes I had to listen to a co worker-ditto head-limboite whine about it every day when he took a pause from his ear phone obsession until it wore off and the next moronic complaint was popular.

we were so deprived back then.
