I just think we should all use language and thoughts that are real.
Why? Outbreak was a movie loosely based on a book.

#1. I don't look to Hollywood movies for realism.

Because, they're movies. It's art not life. They're not documentaries.

Either one you choose they're both unrealistic because they're movies.

I prefer 28 Days Later, as for the other film Dustin Hoffman was miscast in that role.

Besides, real life is stranger than fiction anyhow and nobody knows how this mess is going to end up.

They are now saying it's likely not Ebola, but who knows how true that is. We should have already locked infected counties down and banned civilian travel.

They should lock down all air travel into the USA from West Africa.

Why? I mean swine flu was FAR more dangerous. We didn't then. And even that wasn't all that bad if you were careful.

The doctor that treated Sawyer in the hospital in Nigeria has ebola now.
3 other people have also shown symptoms but tests haven't come back.
They are still hunting down the 65+ people Sawyer may have come in contact with on his 2 flights.

Since when does King Obama need a "basis" to do anything?

His swooning sycophants long ago guaranteed that he can do anything he wants at any time.
