Ebola News Coverage

  Ebola has been figuring prominently in the news lately. You'd think, by the way it's being covered, that we're on the verge of an Ebola pandemic. I don't see this happening. From what I've read and heard about it, this disease isn't very infectious. Ebola's not like the flu. It can't be spread via sneezing or coughing. You'd pretty much have to get the bodily fluids of an infected person in your mouth or bloodstream in order to become infected yourself. The reason it's so prevalent in Africa is because far too many people are exposed to the bodily fluids of the infected that aren't taking the proper precautions.
  Here in the U.S., we've had two cases that I'm aware of, one in Dallas and one in New York. Both of these individuals have been quarantined and it's extremely unlikely that Ebola will spread beyond them. So why is there all this panic in the news? I expect this sort of thing from the Fascist Fucks at the Fox Propaganda Network. Their whole business relies on fear mongering, lies, homophobia, misogyny and race hate. Those huffers of their own fermented shit aren't interested in the facts. They just want to use anything and everything to push their right wing ideology. They have no morals, ethics or standards of decency. The other news networks, however, should know better. Politicians should know better too. Their overreaction is just as bad. They act like they're medical professionals and go around ordering people quarantined without consulting with actual medical professionals. They also make a bunch of asinine suggestions regarding how to deal with individuals coming into country from Ebola ridden areas. Stupidity like this has resulted in one nurse being confined to an unheated tent with no running water and a box for a toilet for period of time. The politicians need to leave the medical problems to those with the knowledge and training to handle them and go back to doing what they do best, licking the shit out of ass cracks of the rich in order to get that sweet, sweet campaign cash.
