But there is no need to be critical of those who carry a belief, they have just as much right to think that way the way you think otherwise.

I hope you never use the term "oh lord", "jesus christ", "good lord" etc. etc. in your daily life -ever !

ATL won the bid to implement new/experimental treatment methods. They are using newer treatment then testing the effects of placing these former patients back into general population and monitoring what will happen.
While Ebola is not an "airborne" situation................
Wikipedia advised:
The virus may be acquired upon contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal.[1] Spreading through the air has not been documented in the natural environment.[2] Fruit bats are believed to carry and spread the virus without being affected. Once human infection occurs, the disease may spread between people, as well. Male survivors may be able to transmit the disease via semen for nearly two months.

So, I've been noticing lots of whooping coughs at marta and work, sneezing too. Anyone thinks it's ebola?

I'm thinking maybe due to our good nutrition, we have ebola in the air, but our immune systems are better here. lol

Considering that I have a summer cold and just starting testing out MARTA in June, you are a true ray of sunshine right now lol.

As I cough while typing this, I do recall that two summers ago I caught a cold from some children. I am not normally around kids but know they can deliver germs in g-force.

I'll just hope for the best and if something truly seems the matter, you'll be able to find me at Emory.

Yeah you kind of missed the point. Sometimes people say "thank god!" when bad things get better of their own accord. But that's not what this is. These patients would have died without access to high quality medical care. I hope I never find myself in such a situation, but if I'm lucky enough to live through it I'll be thanking my doctors and nurses and the researchers who discovered the cure!

Depends. Were they coughing or vomiting blood? No? Then probably not.

I am pretty sure that they thanked their doctors and nurses too, just it is in their nature to remember that G-d is greater than Man. If their belief makes them good humans who volunteer to help people in Africa, I'm all for it--if it were to lead them to cut off the heads of children, and put them on sticks--not so much.
