Me and my Fiancee were playing zombies on Black Ops and I joked that the protective suits we were wearing were to protect us against Ebola.
I mean every time I look at a newspaper or turn on the TV, the news is always going on about it. I read the other day it's meant to come to Britain by December. So I know what to get everybody for Christmas then.
Man, I am killing it with these jokes.
But yeah, if it does get worse over here and begin to spread. I won't put it on my toast.
Laughter is the best medicine so I am told. Laughter is also infectious. So is Ebola. So if you've got it you can laugh, which will either spread it more or cure you.
Anyway, there's my helpful advice on the subject.
The media blows it all out of proportion with their fear mongering headlines. Ebola is on the short bus of diseases when it comes to contagiousness and you really have to go out of your way to catch it. Even then, it's hard to get.
When talking about the outbreak, it's something that hasn't threatened Africa as a continent like the media would want you to believe. It's within about 3 countries and there's many factors as to why it's broken out there so bad. 3 countries that have just come off of political and economical strife including a civil war. They don't live in the most sanitary of conditions. Plus, a rather superstitious culture that rather go to traditional healers than get the medicine from the evil black magic of the western world. Nigeria, which is not much better off than the countries infected, was able to keep the ebola spread to about 10 cases. Yet, people are freaking out about the spread in a developed country like the U.S. because of the ridiculous media.
There's been what? 3 cases here and without counting the guy who was infected from Liberia and died, the new cases are exactly what the CDC has predicted would happen. One of the cases also is because some nurse without thinking decided to take off her gloves first before the rest of her protective gear. So, it's kind of just her own negligence that infected her with the virus.
The media wants to act like ebola is a huge threat to American lives despite it only infecting 2 Americans and killing one guy here who wasn't even a citizen. Thousands every day die of heart disease and cancer. No one calls pandemic or plague on that stuff or really does anything about it. It's because people worried about this "strange new disease" will line up their pockets with cash because of the media revenue.
Sure, ebola is an issue because it popped up in the country and needs a hasty response if ever discovered. But we have the capability to contain it and fight it unlike the outbreak stricken countries. Ebola isn't the issue the media wants you to believe.
But, like I said, I've never seen so many white people give a crap about the death of a black man in Texas.
Ooooo did I say that?
