Ebola
 

Since theres a bad Ebola outbreak happening right now, what kind of devastation do you guys think it would cause if it landed on US soil?

Very little.



Ebola is a known quantity in the USA.



*In continental Africa, it is not even universally known to be a disease.

*A woman got it from looking at a snake in a bag, which she was not supposed to look at. The snake escaped and ppl be lookin at the snake

*The whites brought it. Hospitals were made and people started dying.

*The so-called people in the suits are not hospital workers, they are aliens here to harvest your organs.

and then

*If your villagers start getting sick, high-tail it to the next village over to keep yourself safe (during the incubation period, while you infect them!)

*The custom is to touch a corpse at the funeral. If you really loved the person, you might throw yourself on them weeping, and roll all over the body - which is at its most infectious with ebola, seeing the person just died from being full of ebola.



These are not problems we have in the USA to a large degree. Besides which, our supportive care is much better than "pray to the mountain and hope for the best."

BLU-96

Those are cool and all but there is a limited supply in the world.
