    Eventually it will sprout wings and, like the bird flu, will fly away.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    This worries me. If it is true riding subways and such. He should know better as a doctor. Look there are tons more that can kill me, but AIDS did not start big either.

    Dr. Craig Spencer, who recently returned from disease-wracked West African country Guinea after working with Doctors Without Borders, hit the lanes in Williamsburg and used the subway - the No. 1, A and L trains - and Uber taxis to get around, sources said. The shocking revelation that Spencer was roaming around town — after first telling authorities he self-quarantined himself — emerged after the 33-year-old was hauled off to Bellevue Hospital in a protective suit with symptoms of the deadly disease.

    As your garden-variety schlub, even I know better.

    It's great that protocol was followed but from what I read, Spencer dropped the ball. Don't get me wrong; I appreciate his work, but exercise some responsibility for fuck's sake.

    And then there's this: "New Yorkers who have not been exposed are not at all at risk"

    Thanks, Capt. Obvious.

    " (CNN) -- Nina Pham was the first person to catch Ebola on U.S. soil, and now, 13 days after testing positive, she has been declared free of the deadly disease. "

    So they aren't saying 'cured'... but they are implying it. I thought there was no cure?

    It's my understanding that a healthy immune system can fight off the disease. Once you beat the disease, you should be immune to it, no?
