heh, not often I read something here and groan out load.
When I look at the masses arriving at, and leaving from, major airports like Heathrow each day, I really doubt that you can keep a disease out. There are just too many people, and too closely packed together. Undoable to subject them to a medical examination as well.

The Ouchbola meter:
Distance from nearest case of ebola to Ouch, a few months ago: 4,500 miles
Distance from nearest case of ebola to Ouch, a few weeks ago: 1,400 miles
Distance from nearest case of ebola to Ouch, a week ago: 10 miles
Distance from nearest case of ebola to Ouch, two days ago: 1 mile
Distance from nearest case of ebola to Ouch, today: let's do lunch!
Great job!

If that's the choice, pencil me in for ebola. There's only a 70% chance of death.

Well, apparently I'm not as creative as I thought:

That's what amazes me. Granted, 21 days is a long time if you have any kind of life, but I suspect his employers, family, and friends would be tolerant of the inconvenience, given the circumstances. Hard to know if you aren't in their shoes.
Had the chance of arriving to Barcelona's airport some time ago, blame it on my provincial background. Comming from such a distant place in The World, I was astounded at the mass of people from everywhere in that airport. The first thing popping into my mind was the chances of a pandemic breaking loose.
I did not like that.
It's only incorrect if there are in fact others that we don't know about. Otherwise, it's just paranoia.
I can't believe health officials are cautioning us not to touch or eat strange bodily secretions we find in the streets. Personally, I avoid any of that, strange or familiar.

Guess it's pizza tonight.
Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. But I haven't been to Brooklyn in months.
I'm not too worried about getting an eBola virus. I have a Mac and hear they don't get viruses.
Better sanitize those balls.
I always sanitize them after I play with them. That's just good sense.
My wife and I have talked about what we would do in the highly unlikely event I had an ebola patient. I would be asked to wear a continuous temperature monitor, which I would gladly do. Given the minimal/negligible contagiousness in the absence of fever, I could almost certainly be at home, although I would probably lay low (truth is, I'm not much of a swinger anyway). However, even without a credible reason to do so, I would seriously consider NOT coming home for 21 days.
That sounds eminently reasonable.
Médecins Sans Frontières, [FONT=Open Sans, Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]the group the NY doctor volunteered with, has a sterling record of safety for their very brave and selfless workers. They pretty much invented the protection protocols in use everywhere. I don't think that have had an Ebola infection until this week. These factors might have made him feel more protected than he really was.[/FONT]
