Ebola outbreak in West Africa

[Ben Kenobi]

So has Ben had a stroke and died from his ebola panic yet?

More like, Ben had a long work day, came home, did cleaning and is just now sitting down. Ahh. Reading poly crap is so soothing.

I'd love to go get a Whataburger, but ebola means I had to fix an excellent chili.

Yes, Ebola means you can't go for a burger. ****ing moron..

This is the worst time to go. I can wait a week for a ****ing burger after we know more about the last batch of exposures from Duncan (who died on the eighth), and then Vinson. Folks exposed by Vinson, won't start showing symptoms for another week or so.

Ben was right

You wash your ****ing mouth out Berz!!

[DaShi]

Kill Berz!

You'd better stop eating burgers and chili con carne before you get Mad Cow Disease.

The risk of foodborne illness is much higher than Ebola.

CDC estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases.

The rest is easily available.

3,000 people per year. And this idiot is worried about Ebola.

When 70 percent of those who contract food poisoning die, then we can compare the two.

I've never been to England.

You are truly a dumbfuck.

Actually Sava, Ben's right on point there. The fact that Ebola has a really high mortality rate even with modern Western medical care is a cause for concern.
