Couple of interesting things there. Foremost is that even with all the precautions, medical personnel are getting the disease. And the frequent statements on how they tape up etc to avoid air makes it sound like they know ebola can be transmitted by things other than bodily fluids. There is a lot we are not being told here.

As I understand it, most cases of Lassa are via inhalation, rat and human outputs.

No apocalypse?
Damn, I was so looking forward to The Rapture.

Yes, the right wingers, who operate from the position of fear.
Ebola is coming! Hide!
Commies are coming! Hide!
Socialism is coming! Hide!
Looters are coming! Hide!
The tree-huggers are coming! Hide!
The destruction of America is coming! Hide!
The gun-grabbers are coming! Hide!

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

LOL..because no one is going to dare do anything like protest in front of Emory for fear they might catch it
The second best thing is to rant on forums and twitter.

OMG..go read #ebola on twitter..heavy security at Emory.."OJ'ish as MSM helicopters follow the ambulance"
