Here to provide backup, you go left I go right. Meet you at the spin zone

But won't the two of you going in opposite directions cancel each others' acceleration?

Or is the body already in spin?

Or are you calling him fat?

Where are all the TV commercials and celebrities coming out to give money for Ebola research and to find a cure? Where are our top scientists and how come they have not manufactured a cure? We have cures for most every disease, Aids, snake bites and more. But I don't see anything in the works for Ebola. Why not? Heck, how rich would a pharmaceutical company get if they were the ones who discovered the cure for Ebola?

I'd be scared shitless if I was a healthcare worker though. This is why they make the big bucks.

Not sure if serious. What about the experimental drugs that are being used on these patients already? There are several drugs being tested already.

Like the nurses? Yep.

They must get bored driving their lamborghinis to work every day. :hmm:

The article states that the probability of Influenza going airborne is very low, but the possibility is still there. We can't and shouldn't rule that out.

If this virus does go airborne what should be America's response? Military? Quarantine? Close the docks and borders? End or limit travel?
Influenza spreads through droplets of body fluids just like Ebola and has no trouble causing flu seasons every year. Ebola doesn't need to "go airborne" to be extremely dangerous.
