  • Yup. The only difference is that snowblower thieves are drunk on vodka instead of high on marijuana.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

          • Then, not sure. But probably at least 1 or 2 victims over the years were white people (most likely health care workers).

              Common sense- that commodity that is so rare it needs to be mentioned time and again- and in your case I think it's having an allergic reaction to you.

              Donating to Medecins Sans Frontieres at all this year, Sister Bendy Schweitzer ?

              dude survived the bug and still had traces in his semen 60 days later
              Somehow I can't believe Sister Bendy will be having that as a protein shake.

              Diego Garcia becomes a much better option. The facilities are there, you're looking at two people.
              List the medical facilities available at Diego Garcia, and how they compare with those of the Centers For Disease Control.

                  OMG!!! WAR ON EBOLA!!!! WAR ON EBOLA!!!!!! Sister Bendy's clearly worried about the rendition of people infected with Ebola and the infringement of their human rights.

                    Amazing, the most heavily populated country in West Africa, with high levels of overcrowding in cities such as Lagos, large numbers of commuters,
                    a large transient foreign population, busy international airports and in close proximity to Sierra Leone, Guinea and so on...


                    and it has had only its SECOND death.

                    How long have the various strains of Ebola been around, Sister B. ? The dearth of large scale epidemics (in comparison with cholera, typhoid, tuberculosis and so on) should tell you something about how difficult it is to contract Ebola.

                    If Ben gets sick, I hope they deport him back to Canada.

                    Actually, I hope they deport him to Siberia, sick or not.
                    Going by Sister Bendy's own inclinations, to isolate the ill and needy as much as possible, how about Plum Island Animal Disease Research Centre instead ?

                    I notice they're researching Foot In Mouth Disease- should help him greatly.

                      Yes, apparently real people have died of it. Also, some Africans.

                      Hmm, who does this remind you of ?

                      Largely because of the popular success of Richard Preston's book, The Hot Zone [39], there was tremendous public interest in both the information and misinformation that was generated by the media.

                              The article states that medical staff died. Hospitals in Africa often employ African medical staff. The incidents in Europe don't count because Marburg virus isn't Ebola virus.
