If the Ebola virus starts infecting people by the thousands in the US, will you
just wondering at what point people decide to stay home. If it became widespread, I might consider staying home and staying away from large crowds as much as possible.
I read the virus may have killed as many as 20,000 already, most numbers list it lower. However I heard that the death toll is doubling every 34.8 days.
At this rate it should have killed 12 to 24 million people in one year with that toll doubling every 34.8 days.
The number could reach a billion before too long.

If thousands had it here, would you stay home?
Hopefully they develop an effective cure.
It is mutating though and some terrorists might think about helping the virus spread in certain countries. I can imagine a new form of 60% suicide, go get sick on purpose, then fly to the US.

On the positive side a drug cured all 12 monkeys that had the virus I thought I heard. I'm off to party. You might want to party too, our days might be numbered. If only 50% survive, that is bad.
And I would stay away from crowds and strippers.
It was strip club related but I guess not many in the US take the possibility seriously or just don't want to think about it.
Most anything can be possible, but the chance of many of those events are relatively slim. This is one of them. A mosquito count bite me tomorrow and I'd get dengue. I don't concern myself with that possibility either.
Maybe it gives people excitement in otherwise boring lives...who knows.
Life sucks, then you die. You'll die either sooner or later, but its a matter of time. You could die tomorrow from a heart attack or being hit by a car or any of a million things. Why worry about fucking Ebola?
But hey, if you want to, be my guest.
Maybe yours does, jerkoffson, but don't project onto everyone just because of it.
