    Thanks a lot, (Un)Block Insane Ebola. You're doing a helluva job.

    Either the gear was less than protective, or the virus can now somehow seep through them. Mutation?

    Or the guy or gal got in contact with an infected individual while not wearing the gear.

    It can't happen here!

    The SOLUTION here, is we need a degreed, board-certified expertologist of expertology to train ANYONE before they are allowed to wear a pair of latex gloves or a haz-mat suit! TRAINING and CERTIFICATION and DEGREES will fix it all!!! Especially if all the trolls under the educational and certification bridges are paid off in FULL! NO latex gloves for YOU, w/o a prescription! If you think I am crazy... Please see the need for prescriptions for a cheap plastic flute to blow on, to clear out your lungs and throat? Kinda like "coughing"? are we gonna need a prescription, per the Over-Lords (Over-Lards, Fat -Cats?!?) at the FDA, before we perform that dreaded "medical procedure" of COUGHING, next? Search for "lung flute" on the inter-tubes in general, or my web site at http://www.churchofSQRLS.com ? To see that I bullshit you not!!! In EVERY other nation on the planet, North Korea I assume to be included, we can blow on a cheap plastic flute, w/o sucking the balls of Government Almighty, and the Doctors of Doctorology? But NOT in the USA, the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave!!!
