Ebola outbreak in West Africa

[N35t0r]

lol wut? Monitoring a poly thread for essential news? My heart goes out for the poor bastards.

[regexcellent]

The posters in Ohio, unlike you, are not craven lunatics who scurry off like ****ing squirrels because someone in the same rough geographic area got sick.

Get a grip!

[regexcellent]

I mean, I really can't describe in words my astonishment that Ben is genuinely frightened of Ebola. His panic is palpable.

[Ben Kenobi]

It was completely unconnected to you in any way.

Newsflash, Duncan's children went to school in Texas after they were told not to do it. After exposure to him.

Your life is just so pathetic that you have to try and involve yourself in every story

Uh, jackass, I live in Texas. So yes, when Ebola strikes Texas, it does involve me and my life.

using the first names of the people involved

Uh, isn't that what most people would do? There's more than one case. In order to keep track of who's who, we use things like names.

A man who helped a sick pregnant woman in the street

Then why did he lie to the screener in Liberia? Why did the Liberia president want to charge him?

you already admitted you wouldn't have done

Uh, because if I were in Liberia, I'd be following quarantine protocols and staying away from other people. I'm not a health care worker. I'm not trained to care for people. The best course of action I CAN do is to stay the hell out of the way and prevent making myself the victim. If Thomas had done this, two American women would not be infected with Ebola today.

I was hoping, hoping, hoping, that we were safe. I, in fact, thought we were good, once about 10 days had passed before the first nurse contracted it. I would have been thrilled. Absolutely elated.

He didn't know he was infected.

The sister confirms that he knew he was exposed to someone who had died of Ebola. And that she encouraged him to fly here to receive special American treatment that could save his ass.

Which explains why he lied to the officials. And why they begged for ZMAPP. And why now they are asserting that he died because Americans are ray-sis.

Sorry, Kentonio, why did he lie about his exposure to the ebola patient?

The only person who keeps insisting he did know

All the evidence supports my contention.

vile and contempible peice of **** who thinks other people would behave the same was as you would.

You're saying that remaining in quarantine makes you a vile contemptible piece of ****? Wow.

Big question, why hasn't Brave Sir Kentonio flown to Liberia?

Bravest of the brave Sir Kentonio.

[MrFun]

Would that be the memorable time he decided to post in MrFuns engagement thread about how gays were sinners?

He really is ****ing trash.

Don't insult trash like that, by comparing trash to BK.

[Ben Kenobi]

The posters in Ohio, unlike you, are not craven lunatics who scurry off like ****ing squirrels because someone in the same rough geographic area got sick.

Which explains what's going on right now at Kent State.

Unlike you they are taking this ****ing serious. They don't want folks to come down with it in Ohio. Now that there's possible exposure there - Ohio folks need to be concerned about it too. At least until this has all been cleared. Next ten days or so.

Good on Ohio. I hope they kick it's ass rather than the CDC gongshow.

[kentonio]

Newsflash, Duncan's children went to school in Texas before they were told not to do it. After exposure to him.

Oh my god, they went to a school!?!?! And you work in A SCHOOL!!!!! **** dude, you're clearly already infected, you may as well just plan your funeral now. I'm also a bit gutted, because I went to a school too once. I've also probably got it.

Uh, jackass, I live in Texas. So yes, when Ebola strikes Texas, it does involve me and my life.

Yes, because there's only 26.5 million people in Texas, a state the size of many small countries. You're clearly in mortal danger.

Uh, isn't that what most people would do? There's more than one case. In order to keep track of who's who, we use things like names.

No, it is not in any way what normal people do. Most of us when we discuss a news story don't refer to the people involved by their first names as if we knew them, because that would be really, really creepy and weird.

The sister confirms that he knew he was exposed to someone who had died of Ebola. And that she encouraged him to fly here to receive special American treatment that could save his ass.

Link to something reliable that proves that. Because his family have consistently said he had no idea he was infected.

[Ben Kenobi]

Oh my god, they went to a school!?!?!

Do you not understand how quarantine works? They had notification for five schools in Dallas.

And you work in A SCHOOL!!!!!

At the time, he'd been out and around for a week. So yes, it was possible in that time for someone to contract Ebola and come here. Still is, in fact.

I went to a school too once. I've also probably got it.

You're going to regret everything you say here.

Yes, because there's only 26.5 million people in Texas, a state the size of many small countries. You're clearly in mortal danger.

I'm in some danger yes, and substantially less than zero danger.

No, it is not in any way what normal people do.

Really. Good thing we have Brave Sir Kentonio to regulate nomenclature rather than, oh I dunno, being concerned about actual people's lives. I guess Brave Sir Kentonio doesn't like it when I use names because that evokes actual suffering.

Link to something reliable that proves that. Because his family have consistently said he had no idea he was infected.

You acknowledge that he lied about his exposure to Ebola in Liberia to get on the plane and evade screening?

[kentonio]

You're going to regret everything you say here.

I'm fairly confident I'm not.

I'm in some danger yes, and substantially less than zero danger.

You poor little soldier.

Really. Good thing we have Brave Sir Kentonio to regulate nomenclature rather than, oh I dunno, being concerned about actual people's lives. I guess Kentonio doesn't like it when I use names because that evokes actual suffering.

Nope, the only thing it evokes is the feeling that you are really, really creepy and weird.

You acknowledge that he lied about his exposure to Ebola in Liberia to get on the plan and evade screening?

So you're not going to provide a link to back up your claim then? So we can safely assume that it was another lie?

[Ben Kenobi]

So you're not going to provide a link to back up your claim then? So we can safely assume that it was another lie?

I find it curious that you're challenging that statement rather than the other one. Are you conceding the fact that he lied to screening officials in Liberia concerning his recent Ebola exposure to board the plane?

Before I move on, I want to confirm that you are, in fact, not contesting this statement.

Depends. One of his family members believes it didn't happen, but personally I think it probably did but that he didn't really think anything of it. We tend to think we're not really in danger until things bite us in the ass. It's a pretty understandable human response.

What I do take extreme dislike to however are your continued claims that he knew he was infected before he travelled, something which would have been miraculous considering he was showing no symptoms when he was tested at the airport when he left.

Now please link to something reliable that supports the claim you made about his sister please.

[Ben Kenobi]

It doesn't square with lying to the official about his exposure to Ebola. Also, who paid for the ticket? Seems clear to me he left ASAP after his exposure. After talking to the family here.

I still don't understand why he would deliberately expose his children to Ebola by flying across the world here. Surely you can agree that's a ****ty move.

We tend to think we're not really in danger until things bite us in the ass. It's a pretty understandable human response.

And deliberately taking precautions when you know you aren't infected isn't?

What I do take extreme dislike to however are your continued claims that he knew he was infected before he travelled, something which would have been miraculous considering he was showing no symptoms when he was tested at the airport when he left.

He knew he was exposed. That is what I actually said. It explains all his actions, boarding on a plane to fly here. It's a brilliant move that has put two Americans at risk of dying.

Now please link to something reliable that supports the claim you made about his sister please.

Are you conceding that he lied to the officials in Liberia?

[kentonio]

So basically you're not going to link to anything that supports your wild and unpleasant claims, you're just going to continue to build a nonsensical narrative that is not actually supported by any facts?

Why am I not surprised..

[Ben Kenobi]

So basically you're not going to link to anything that supports your wild and unpleasant claims

So because facts are unpleasant that makes them wrong? Curious statement.

No, I'm trying to get you to acknowledge a fact that everyone has already accepted - that he lied to Liberian screeners about his exposure to Ebola. Two people may die because of this lie. It's devastating to your case.

[kentonio]

He knew he was exposed. That is what I actually said. It explains all his actions, boarding on a plane to fly here. It's a brilliant move that has put two Americans at risk of dying.

What you ACTUALLY previously said was..

I think he knew he was dying, knew he had one last chance at a few jollies, and did exactly that. Got his and then screw everyone else.

Because you're frankly sub-human and that's what you'd have done.
