    I was pretty surprised to see that this is the largest uncontained outbreak in the history of the virus. With some of the mutations in this strand that I've read about if it gets out of West Africa it could be similar to Captain Tripps from The Stand. With some people not showing signs for weeks and with the possibility of this becoming airborne and the high mortality rate it really is a little scary. And I personally think a lot of big money men around the globe, if they thought they could escape the illness, would love to see 1/2 of the world's population destroyed by some type of supervirus. Population control and a clean start. It is a little concerning.

    I may create a Dooley meme. I remember the Bad Luck Dooley meme. The best one was "raids Penn State for talent - gets Sandusky"

    That'll work, because he's no coach.

    He has another look?

    I swear, I think I hate that sum[itch bay] as much as, probably more, than I've ever hated anyone.

    Now that Americans have it, this is getting tv coverage. I feel bad for the missionary, but it sounds like they are pulling out all the stops for her.

    Up to a 90% mortality rate. That is some seriously bad stuff.

    Saw an article that stated there was only enough of an experimental treatment sent for one of the two infected. Another doctor who is infected insisted she have it. That's a tough, tough situation.

    That, and they are giving them both blood from a boy who recovered, so that they might benefit from his residual antibodies.
