Yes. Very sad thing: man dies, and the r-wing will turn it into a BENGHAZZIIIBOLAAAAAAA! freakout for the sake of ratings. CNN’s Don Lemon will be right on that sh#t.

THOUSANDS of these guys got shipped, in a panic, to Africa as part of “The War on Ebola.” With no thought for the ramifications. But we’re obsessed by the civilians (counted on one hand) who came back ill.

How can you say “no thought of the ramifications” when you should know that is not true?

Uh-oh…that’s not good, and sadly for this man’ family it is a nightmare. But its probably also a limited situation that can easily be assessed and brought under control if others have been exposed. Too bad though that self-monitoring turns out to be much like self-deportation. Not a very good system if the honor system isn’t being honored. But then, we still don’t know much about the details yet, other than he was on emergency leave.

Oh, FFS. If you’re not sure whether a death had something to do with ebola, it didn’t have anything to do with ebola. It is not a subtle disease.

Condolences to this man, but there’s zero chance he died of ebola.

Unless he was bleeding out of all of his body holes.

Like I said, it’s not a subtle disease.

If you’re not sure if a death had something to do with Ebola, then you suck at public health.

And what, pray tell, needs to be “brought under control”? Your hysteria?

Wait. I thought Ebola had been cured and eradicated on November 5th.

Rick Perry cured Ebola.

Gee, what a shocker! Who could have predicted that?

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. Just to be sure.
