Ebola epidemic

Oh, yes. There are books, clothes, weapons. It's an entire industry. Seriously. And some people never break character. I've seen interviews where people have changed their homes and built shelters. They take it just as seriously as those who believe they've been abducted and probed by aliens.

For the record, I'm not a believer in either.

Holy mackerel!!!
Well, I guess I am out of luck. Especially since I'm just down the road from that Ebola lab they are going to build in Galveston.

Sure! LOTS of ammunition! They apparently don't feel pain, so you have to incapacitate. Head shots are highly recommended.

Yeah, been playing too many games lately....

If you shoot em in the head their blood will glorp all over the place. And just cuz they're cured doesn't mean they might not be carriers.
How are you going to kill something that doesn't feel pain and that you have to avoid blood and body fluid contamination?

Geez, people! I'm in Atlanta!

That's where the "Walking Dead" zombies we battle day to day originated from! You won't see it on Fox or CNN headline news

Now we have to worry about zombie medical personnel/professionals curing incoming Ebola patients at Emory where the zombies first emerged? Egads!

I'm outta here ... taking my sword, compound bow, rifle and dogs and heading for the hills ... only because my underground compound has not been completed and was taken over by nasty moles, chipmunks and stinging ants.

Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia – the countries hardest hit by the deadly virus – have started to set up a cross-border isolation zone patrolled by guards, according to the Associated Press. Food and medical supplies will be delivered inside the “cordon sanitaire” or sanitary barrier, but no one will be allowed to leave.

While the planned isolation zone would enclose an estimated 70 percent of the epidemic, that leaves 30 percent on the other side of the barrier. And the barrier may not be 100 percent effective at keeping people inside the zone, Schaffner said, explaining how people might try to flee through back roads.

The barriers can also put healthy people at risk by bringing them closer to people with the virus,
