    My husband just came out to tell me that Taylor Swift has dumped more Americans than Americans have died from Ebola. Not sure if he is worried about being dumped by her now.

    A lot of us have dumped more than 1 person. By the way, the only American who died from ebola (Patrick Sawyer) died in Nigeria.

    There was a Liberian who died in America who has received much more press coverage in the US than Sawyer... Duncan was the only person to die in America from ebola, and he was not even American.

    Thanks. He was being silly but I see how it could contribute to misinformation/panic. That wasn't my intent.

    And before Ebola it was Swine Flu. And before that, Bird Flu. Soon you'll see a new "breakthrough drug" that prevents the spread of Ebola, once everyone is good and scared. Our drug manufacturer saviors will make it available - and watch the money roll in.

    Actually, they have been working on a vaccine for ebola since before this recent outbreak. I'm not sure how close they are to distributing it though.


    my guess is they will miraculously be ready to distribute the vaccine once the world is panicking enough and willing to spend the dollars.. ;)

    I CAN understand being scared of Ebola if one was in that part of the world. I don’t understand the fear of corona virus, swine flu, measles or anything else.
