Do you remember before the internet, that it was thought the cause of collective stupidity was the lack of information?Well...it wasn't that.

The simple reason being that every time there's a new disease spreading in the world, the media blows it out of proportion and makes it look a hell of a lot worse than it actually is. They use fear tactics to get our attention.Remember mad cow disease? Bird flu? Swine flu?Where are they now?Mad cow disease led to very drastic, and needed reactions, to avoid it becoming massive. Otherwise it would have spread out of control, and there is no cure. It changed thoughts about what to feed animals too.It still wasn't as bad as the media made it out to be.It was considered to be a very real threat then. It wasn't just the media.

About the flu, there will be a big one, one day. Will happen, and there will be nothing we can do about it. The only thing that will help you then is a good physical start to begin with. So, getting scared about it will not help preventing. It's like rain, it will fall or not.
The Daily Mail has reported that ISIS is using spiders to spread Ebola into Great Britain. The spiders will also cause an impossibly harsh winter. And you know how reliable the Daily Mail is. I'm off to tour the Empire.

Kaci Hickox, a nurse placed under mandatory quarantine in New Jersey, went on CNN on Sunday and criticized the "knee-jerk reaction by politicians" to Ebola, saying "to quarantine someone without a better plan in place, without more forethought, is just preposterous."Hickox, who was working to help treat Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, has tested negative twice for Ebola and does not have symptoms, she said."This is an extreme that is really unacceptable, and I feel like my basic human rights have been violated," Hickox told CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union."She described herself as "physically strong" but "emotionally exhausted." "To put me through this emotional and physical stress is completely unacceptable," she said.She slammed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for describing her as "obviously ill."
A mandatory 21-day quarantine imposed by New York and New Jersey on health care workers returning from West Africa after treating Ebola patients caught local and federal officials by surprise and spurred a heated debate on handling the spread of the virus.
...and as for Kaci...I say keep her an extra 7 days for being a whiny ass bitch.
