First Case of Ebola on US Soil

 

So better to not tell anyone, and let the virus possibly spread? Great logic.

 

 

 

I work in healthcare, you don't go shouting that a virus is around. You run the risk of making the situation WORSE and convincing people who aren't ill at all that they have the symptoms. The mind has that strong an effect, simply saying it in a stressful situation can lead to symptoms of the disease without even having the disease. 

 

If they have nothing to say, they have nothing to say.

Again, I hope you are right, I really do, because it has a 70% mortality rate if I remember correctly.

 

Then, lets not forget the 3000 people we are sending over there to...... build huts? or something.

This strain is 90% I think. Some of the others are 70%.

 

They're sending 3000 people over there to attempt to prevent the spread. They're probably going to be quarantined before being brought back.

Oh I know what POS can do, my point is that you might at least want to quietly inform the people that might have come into contact with him, wouldn't you?

Did you miss my thread about how ebola can still be present in vaginal and seminal fluids for up to 3 or 4 weeks (possibly longer) after the person has been "cured"?

Monsanto is still considered a bigger threat imo. Thankfully the USA isn't some third world country with tons of uneducated muppets running around.

Yet you don't sell Kinder eggs because it's deemed "dangerous."

An AR-15 with fmj ammo isn't, it appears.

Um, have you met this current generation? They're pretty much what you just described from what I can tell.

Considering that they're sending healthcare workers over, I would be pretty damn surprised if they didn't know that already.

 

They're going to quarantine all of the people people, and the ones that don't show symptoms are going to come back. The other ones are probably going to be quarantined for quite a while.

They're creating crops that have a higher yield, we better burn them at the stake.

They don't want people selling food with non edible parts embedded, and they didn't want to make any exceptions.

 

Meanwhile and AR-15 is dangerous... cars are also dangerous... pointed sticks are dangerous. What's wrong with selling dangerous things, in itself?

It's a chocolate treat that you can find in Europe. It is banned in America. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

They are banned because the government believes that it is bad to have something inedible inside something that is edible. But that capsule is so large, a fully grown man couldn't even swallow it.

Exactly.

Also, is it true that in some chocolate packages there's a warning saying "Package not edible?"

Not even kidding, I've read about in in the internets but never knew for sure.

Wouldn't have a clue. But a life without those Kinder Eggs isn't a life worth living.  :D

Yeah just read the wikipedia article..... I think we need to distribute these to every member of congress, and most federal employees lol. funny enough, people have been arrested bringing them into the country, but my aunt and uncle could mail them to us, like 30 at a time. wtf?

 

You guys do know ebola can only spread through bodily fluids right

 

 

 

right

Ebola might not make you sneeze, but people still do sneeze, or wipe their noses, or pick them, or any number of disgusting things that humans do every day (I write as I pick my nose lol)

It seems like a bad idea to have non edible items embedded in something edible in general. You really don't want to bite into a cookies, rusty nails and cream bar after misreading the label.

 

Making exceptions for things of a certain size could cause some problems.

I think they just don't want people selling them.

You wouldn't be able to bite into them without knowing that the capsule is there. Plus, the chocolate surrounding the toy is thin and breaks easily and the packaging explains what is inside.
