        I love that dog who takes out all three brothers. And of course the sled stealing bulldog. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 30, 08:21 1

  - going back to the flu -i don't know why we don't take that as seriously, one sick person with the flu can spread it, and it kills the elderly or those - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:05 7
    - The flu deaths so far this year have been infants, I believe. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:07 2
      - Hmm, pediatric, anyway. -- (link) - mara Oct 30, 08:09 1
        
        okay. so, let's save infants. -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:10
    - I don't agree with mandatory shots, but I think they should be free. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:06 3
      - i don't actually agree with mandatory either, but people blow off the one that *based on evidence is way more likely to effect you* - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:10 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        yes, this. Let's worry about kinds not getting MMR shots, because that actually matters. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:12
  - Then we can't allow them to come home at all. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:04 48
    - *nods* -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 30, 08:07 47
      - The level of paranoia about this is really astounding. We live in the land of the free (unless there's even a hint of a risk in which case all rights - pmb Oct 30, 08:18 24
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I understand. I was exaggerating. But the point is we willing compromise rights too easily for modest threats and incremental additional security. -- nm - pmb Oct 30, 08:37
        
        To date in 2014, there have been 24 lightning deaths. 6 in Florida, 3 in Wisconsin, 2 in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Massachusetts -- (link) - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 30, 08:21 1
        
        quarantine thunderstorms! -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 08:26
        
        We do? I have not felt that way since The Patriot Act. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 30, 08:21 4
        
        Don't accidently find yourselfon the same plane as someone who has happened to visit West Africa (or someone else who has been in contact with someone - pmb Oct 30, 08:23 3
        
        Yeah, I will not be flying any time soon. - Spawn the Impaler Oct 30, 08:32 2
        
        I understand that's your choice, but by that logic, make sure you don't get in a car (risk of dying in an accident is much larger than ebola). Don't - pmb Oct 30, 08:39 1
        
        I have some control in a car. The danger is obvious and when I get home I know I made it. - Spawn the Impaler Oct 30, 08:45
        
        We saw it with the rise of "Homeland Security," the TSA, the NSA, etc., so I guess we shouldn't be all that surprised. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:20 14
        
        I usually shake my head when watching V For Vendetta thinking that citizens wouldn't be so paranoid, and give away so many rights. - Inigo Oct 30, 08:26 11

        and I told you many times, I do not watch the news. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 08:34 1

        not me personally, but the fact that there are Ebola stories everyday, when the facts is - groiny Oct 30, 08:33 4

        reason for what? -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 08:35 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        where am I acting paranoid about it? - groiny Oct 30, 08:41
        
        [deleted]
        
        Exactly. -- nm - pmb Oct 30, 08:22
      - ok, so no healthcare workers will go there any more. Epidemic explodes in Africa. Then we can never keep it out. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:08 21
        
        You tell people up front what the deal is; they'll do it. These are the same people going to Africa to help those people with this deadly disease. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:11 7
        
        Mandatory quarantines means they don't want to go. They wont. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:13
        
        *do* they get paid in quarantine? -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:13 5
        
        If not, make it part of the deal. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:18 3
        
        Does Doctors Without Borders actually pay people to begin with? -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:19 2
        
        they're volunteers, far as I know -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:38 1
        
        I don't understand the mentality "I'll volunteer to drastically increase my risk of death to help others, but quarantine to protect others NO" - Max Oct 30, 08:42
        
        They aren't getting paid to work in Africa either. They're volunteers. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:14
        
        they can go there, they just need to quarantine 21 days before coming back. How could this possibly be a bad thing? -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:10 12
        
        It's an absurd violation of people's rights, for one thing. Quarantine of somebody who is not sick has no legal *or* medical basis. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:16
        
        Because the 21 day quarantine on return will prevent people from going in the first place. 3 weeks locked up for no reason other than - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 30, 08:13 10
        
        nah, that's bullsh!t. Give 'em 3 weeks paid leave. No one would say no. -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:16 3
        
        but, they *are* saying no. -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:17 1
        
        I think he's saying she's not currently getting paid but should be? -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:24
        
        It's not leave. They're locked in a room. It's jail. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:17
        
        Exactly. No reason at all. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:13 5
        
        How long does it take to exhibit the signs of having ebola? -- nm - LMS Oct 30, 08:19 3
        
        "Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days." -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:22
        
        21 days from exposure is the longest known amount of time. -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:20 1
        
        There's always some freak result to screw up the average. -- nm - LMS Oct 30, 08:24
        
        and there is no reason not to -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:18
