    The Western media will take notice, once enough white people are affected by Ebola.
    A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

        Won't happen. The natural vectors are all in tropical Africa.

          Ebola's a lot more dangerous in Africa than it would be here because they don't have the medical facilities to contain and treat it. The biggest part is just handling the corpses properly.

            There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                Infected American aid workers are being sent to Georgia (CDC) for treatment.

                    We have fruit bats and pigs, but fortunately the virus is unlikely to spread to them here in the US. The disease can spread from person to person via body fluids. It can also spread via semen for up to 2 months after contracting the disease. Can we prohibit survivors from having sex for up to 2 months? We should consider banning rock bands from travelling to afflicted areas.

                      This one seems to have a 60% mortality rate. I wonder if our civilization would survive a 60% reduction.

                        I think that's 60% mortality rate with the best known treatment.

                          Depends on who's being reduced.

                              It used to be 90% fatal so it seems the virus is evolving in the typical way so that mortality goes down over time.
