Ebola is poppin off big and I'm wondering what precautions you folks are taking just in case some freaky stuff happens and Ebola spreads like wildfire.

Here are my precautions,
Bought thermometer,
stored up on necessity,
Watching for symptoms,
Buying food from off the road markets, less likely to be touched by more hands than at Walmart,
Washing my hands endlessly,
And finally, praying I dont get sick like a mf

Currently, ebola is possibly the most rare diseases in the U.S.

So I take about the same precautions against ebola as I do, say, for viral meningitis or psittacosis. I try to practice good hygiene in my daily life without that practice becoming all-consuming.

 

[Lily Sawyer]

Pardon me for coming across as an alarmist, but my pessimism has outgrown my confidence in physicians' knowledge of Ebola and how to deal with it.

The truth is that Ebola's now in both the U.S. and Europe (Spain), that physicians around the world do NOT completely understand how it's spread, and that there are plenty more jackasses than not running around and boarding flights, standing in line at a grocery store with a case of the sniffles, and passing French fries through a drive-thru window.

All it takes is one asshat. Just one.

I don't let this consume me, but I think it's a matter of time before the CDC issues a public health speech about the threat of Ebola in the general population.

Waiting for the virus to mutate and start turning people into zombies........I tend to turn every disease into a possible zombie apocalypse starting scenario.....I'm weird like that.....

Not that I don’t trust our government to do everything necessary to protect us, but...

Food for a month. Plenty of water. $2,000 cash & some gold. 72 rolls toilet paper. Gasoline for the generator. Plenty of batteries. Candles. Plastic full body coveralls and masks. Plenty of soap. 200 rounds 9mm ammo.

IKR we are the same here pretty much.

Where do you keep the cash and gold? Be as specific as possible.

Right under the I E D with touch fuse.

 

[fljoe0]

Whether or not there is anything obviously dangerous lurking, everyone should keep at least a couple of weeks food and water on hand. Viruses, storms, solar flares, power grid failures and all kinds of other things are possible at any time.

This ebola thing has been making me nervous for a while now.

As a courtesy to others every time I evacuate my bowels, I poop right into a storage baggie and zip it shut. That way, should I become infected, no one will have to deal with my solid waste.

What are you doing with yours? Flushing it into the common plumbing system where anyone, including children and clowns, but especially people at the sewage treatment plant have to deal with it?

I'm totally kidding, but now that I think about it, that's kind of scary.

...I am opening my residence to homeless cookies...

 

[50's Kid]

Aside from the normal good hygiene and precautions, and keeping a reasonable stock of back-up supplies, I am not going to worry about it.
If it is (or mutates to become) transferable by airborne means, as the Zaire variant is rumored to be, then it is just a matter of time before it spreads worldwide, and, in the end, we will all have to trust to our genetic luck.
The CDC, and our so-called leaders, have proven to be as useless as [insert your favorite colorful metaphor].
So, eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow...

You had me horrified for a minute.

Gee and I was just planning on using my fireplace for heat!

(This is beginning to remind me of Y2K)

72 rolls of toilet paper/month...and no fiber?

 

[blunthead]

1. Washing hands and body incessantly
   [*] Shopping at second choice food places

   These are my only choices? I'm reduced to rely on luck. Again.

Toilet paper counts as fiber, right? Mmmm, roughage!
