With Staten Island's very large - and previously "celebrated" - Liberia population, I'm not confident that we will be spared this one. Thankfully I've been preparing for an eventuality such as this for awhile now.

You've got a zombie-proof bunker with 6 months of supplies and ammo?

No bunker, but I'm quite well stocked on your other points.

One person with Ebola in the US and we're all going to be infected? How many individuals in the US have AIDS, Tuberculosis, Mumps, or any other number of infectious diseases?



No, Seriously, How Contagious Is Ebola? : Shots - Health News : NPR

Don't think some of us have forgotten about the way you repeatedly brushed off hurricane sandy as media hype, and proceeded to take a half year of so leave of absence after it hit.

I think ebola will definitely come to NYC. We have a huge west african population. Its only a matter of time. I don't think we're prepared at all.

I took a year of absence again most recently because I was working oversees. Check the posts. What's your point?

Probability distribution states that outliers do indeed occur at times. Take 1000 hyped up Sandy's and 2 out of 1000 will hit (3 S.D. event). So what?Does that mean one should run around like a headless chicken?

Only ignorant fools will claim that since a 3 standard deviation event hit since upon a time, we should expect these type of events all of the time.
It's just like the idiots running around yelling about hyperinflation or how the economy will collapse.
