  1. Now the real question is, why haven't uninfected countries closed borders yet?

      1. @potatao @nethernarwhal @scriboos While Scribus is right, you can't really trust people to be smart enough to keep themselves away from disease.

        1. @righteousnarwhal I trust myself. I keep my blood sterile with alcohol!

          Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:43:22 UTC from web
          1. @scriboos My method has always been being at arm's lenght with people.

            Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:44:41 UTC from web
            1. @righteousnarwhal That works, too.

              1. @scriboos I mean, the like five people I allow to touch me are pretty good at sanitation.

                1. @righteousnarwhal But, isolation from disease is not the best idea either. Allergies and all that.

                  1. @potatao Not letting people into my personal space =/= living in a bubble.

                    Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:49:31 UTC from web
                    1. @righteousnarwhal True, I tired to not suggest or hint at you, but I failed at being general. Sorry.

                      1. @potatao I don't actually fear disease, hell, I have one of the strongest immune systems I've seen so far. I just have a rule of only letting people /very/ close to me touch me (Brother, parents, grandmas, an aunt, best friend, romantic interest and that's it)

                        Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:54:34 UTC from web
                        1. @righteousnarwhal I understand, I made the mistake of adding that advice or warning to a reply to your status.

                          Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:56:01 UTC from web
                          1. @potatao Oh. It was a general thing. I get it now.

                            Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:56:33 UTC from web
                            1. @righteousnarwhal Yeah, sorry again bro.

                              Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:56:51 UTC from web
                              1. @potatao Chill. No need to get all canadian on me.

                                Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:57:08 UTC from web
                                1. @righteousnarwhal Can I get you a pop to make up for it?

                                  Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:58:00 UTC from web
                                  1. @potatao What do you call a "pop"

                                    Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:59:38 UTC from web
                                    1. @righteousnarwhal I am Hopped on Pop.

                                      Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:59:55 UTC from web
                                      1. @potatao Music, carbonated drink, popsicle, bullet wound, or what?

                                        Saturday, 11-Oct-14 05:00:34 UTC from web
                                        1. @righteousnarwhal Sorry, I will take number 2 and four please.

                                          Saturday, 11-Oct-14 05:01:07 UTC from web
                                          1. @potatao You can keep 4, no worries.

                                            Saturday, 11-Oct-14 05:01:44 UTC from web

                                              Saturday, 11-Oct-14 05:02:14 UTC from web
        2. @righteousnarwhal All I can say is good luck getting it all the way up to Canada :p

          Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:44:27 UTC from web
          1. @nethernarwhal Well, you already have it on your southern border. Over here they've implemented measures for earlier detection in the last few days. Got 'em universities working on it and stuff. Hopefully that'll keep it at bay at the Brazilian frontier.

            1. @righteousnarwhal They were actually testing a guy at a hospital in Toronto for ebola but it turned out negative. Honestly, more people have died from getting struck by lightning.

              Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:48:30 UTC from web
              1. @nethernarwhal Shh, how many have died is not the point. Hop on the bandwagon.

                1. @righteousnarwhal If'n ye ain't afeared, ye ain't a'Murrican!

                2. @righteousnarwhal Point is the chance of actually catching it is impossibly miniscule.

                  Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:51:17 UTC from web
                  1. @nethernarwhal That doesn't mean we can't boost and use the general paranoia.

                    Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:52:18 UTC from web
                    1. @righteousnarwhal It will certainly rally people to be more sanitation conscious so no complaints there

                      Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:53:31 UTC from web
                      1. @nethernarwhal Haha man, I remember that H1N1 flu outbreak a few years ago. Suddenly gel alcohol sales soared through the skies and everyone carried it.

                        Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:55:21 UTC from web
                        1. @righteousnarwhal Oh yeah, I remember asking fanatics if they wanted cheese with their swine

                          Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:57:40 UTC from web
                          1. @nethernarwhal Fun times.

                            Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:59:02 UTC from web
                            1. @righteousnarwhal The fear of the Unknown, it is fun to mess with.

                              Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:59:45 UTC from web
    2. @righteousnarwhal Complacency, mostly

      Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:41:14 UTC from web
    3. @righteousnarwhal Because ebola is an assclown of a disease in any place with so much as hand sanitizer, anyway?

      Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:41:18 UTC from web
      1. @scriboos Erm, wha?

        Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:41:48 UTC from web
        1. @potatao Ebola. Given basic 1st world sanitation, it's a pain right in the ass to catch. In a place with soap and running hot water, you pretty much have to try to catch it. Assclown-tier disease, fo sho.

          Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:42:45 UTC from web
          1. @scriboos No, the way you phrased that last sentence, I was lost.

            Saturday, 11-Oct-14 04:43:29 UTC from web
            1. @potatao Oh. Well, that may be in part due to the Rolling Rock.
