What will you do if/when Ebola gets here?

I must've missed that one - another post where you hilariously picked a similar but wrong word?
Turn off that Autocorrect and change your life! I can help you if you don't know how.

Thanks for the beer, I'll pass on the hug.

Ugh, bushmeat. I've seen some very disgusting examples.

Now the nurse in Spain has been cleared too. Take that, Ebola.

Paul,
I know one of the post was from a copy and pasted citation from a link and it appeared you assumed it was something I wrote and made a comment that "it's" = it is. My spell correction does not correct it's, its or it is. When I read your comment to me, I was like... no 5hit Paul and that's important because? But I chose to ignore that aspect of your comment and left you to think it was all me. Sometimes there's so many misconceptions thrown out, it's far too daunting a task and waste of time to address them all.

A beer we can do but you'll have to try some mongoose kabobs since you won't accept a bear hug.

Maybe Rob will share that mongoose kabob recipe, it sounds tasty.

lol, kane and Paul, your guys ongoing debate jousting here cracks me up. usually such back and forths end up on the ugly side, but somehow you two have kept it rather entertaining. cheers

mongoose kabob recipe = one mongoose + long stick + open fire

Season to taste.

Back to the topic, there has been announcement of a nose spray Ebola vaccine in monkeys.

Nose Spray Ebola Vaccine Protects Monkeys

Still awhile for human trials. The real cause for the spread of this virus is religion. The religion in the origin area is to wash the bodies of the dead before burial, and the ritual is the body must be washed by hand. Even when the spread was reaching 50% in some villages, the family would sneak out the body to wash it. Once infected, the untreated eventually start bleeding out of their noses and ears, mixed with water to wash it off, the virus is everywhere. The people that made it back to the US are almost all recovered and the troop containment plus quarantine is preventing more spread.

Now, how many of those anti-vaccine people are going to refuse a nose spray vaccine against Ebola?

Finally.
I found a real connection between Ebola and Hawaii.
If you can, think back to the Ebola scare and the movie Outbreak in the mid 90's. Current (and former) Hawaii resident Pierre Omidyar worked for a small web site that drew much of it's traffic back then from Ebola content, to which he added an online auction site:

Originally, the domain eBay.com had nothing to do with auctions — it was a workshop where Omidyar would tinker. Its earliest incarnation hosted a web page about Ebola, inspired by the national scare that coincided with the movie Outbreak. (Later, eBay would offer a variety of origin stories for its odd name, none having to do with Ebola in the Bay Area.)

He soon recruited a company president, Skoll, whose first management decision was to remove the alarming Ebola content, over Omidyar’s objection that it was still drawing lots of traffic.
