justalurkrSo, ebola has broken out in Dallas, TX. I'm actually a little surprised, since the first victims were shipped to my stomping grounds of Marietta, GA, to continue on to the Atlanta Center for Disease Control or some hospital adjunct thereto.
My efforts to spread panic have so far resulted in virtual pats to the head online ("one patient does not an outbreak make") and some very sceptical expressions amongst my office mates, who mainly make tasteless remarks about the differences between American and West African society with respect to the general level of information available to each about the virus.
Ah, well. I suppose it's pretty tasteless to attempt spreading panic for fun anyway. (hangs head)

Date: 2014-10-01 11:17 pm (UTC)Not that I'm worried about an outbreak of Ebola. Something much worse... an outbreak of news media descending upon an area. Already went through one media circus. Do not want to repeat.
I'm waiting for Governor Goodhair to make some sort of racist or bigoted comment. Shouldn't have long to wait.
