One day the truth about ebola and aids will surface, it's been mentioned in movies and tv as a joke but the truth will come out and people won't be able to handle it.

By "won't be able to handle it", what exactly do you mean? Are we going to spontaneously combust, or crap our pants, or what? I'm a little confused.

not believe it and claim the messenger is crazy and delusional. Won't be able to handle it as in it challenges people's perspective on life so much they'll reject it, similar to the Tuskegee experiments that people outright rejected as a possibility when the news was first broken.

We're waiting for more elaboration first. For all we know your shocking truth might be that it's a virus

Obviously the truth is that aids was created by the US government to slowly diminish the world's population.

Maybe some viruses, but in a first world country ebola is not nearly the scariest thing we should we worried about.

It's pretty damn hard to "cure" viruses since there they differ from host to host and need a very specific drug that doesn't target healthy cells. So I wouldn't bet a drug for Ebola will pop up any time soon, mostly just various "inhibitors" to improve your chances.

Oh, so you was going to tell us about how AIDS and Ebola were created by racist white scientists employed by the U.S. government to kill off black people in Africa? Most of us already heard that one...

Nope, guess again. Isn't the assumption game fun?

Wasn't the Reston strain of ebola in Virgina from the 80's airborne? Or was that just a myth.

The classic "I know something that you don't so I'm better than you" routine. There are a whole host of conspiracies out there to the true origins of diseases that were first reported in Africa and most of them are related to racist white men creating them to kill off black people. It's just a matter of guessing which conspiracy theory you believe is true.

Not concerned about ebola at all. As a CNA I deal with infections like C-Diff (one not know outside the medical field but is pretty nasty. Like disentary) and MRSA (an infection that basically haunts you for life) and those spread in the same was as ebola yet I have never got it.

I would be more worried about that really bad respiratory bug that has been hitting schoolchildren recently...

I don't know. But if you find out, tell me so that I know if I need to start worrying.

Merican's don't really care. This is not good news, but most will just say no big deal and go back to playing GTA5. Need a few million for Murcah to really take notice.

Get yourself a colloidal nano-silver generator and make your own "cure" at home. That alone will surely give you a hell of a higher chance of surviving this crap than the shit that big pharma would like to poison you with. They are a bit costly up front but they'll last forever and you can help the whole fam-damily with it!
