We tell people they need to take personal responsibility, even though we know that most won't.
It seems that death from living a poor lifestyle is okay as long as it's a slow death, compared to Ebola which is a relatively quick death.
I'm just trying to find some consistency. |
You are proceeding from an illogical premise based on inadequate information that is causing you to inaccuratly assess the situation and thus come to an incorrect conclusion.
Some people will die
sooner due to heart disease and diabetes
perhaps caused by poor diet, but 90 percent of people infected with the ebola virus will die.
Now the news is reporting that another person has come forward with symptoms of ebola who had been with Mr. Duncan.
AND I call on the administration in the WhiteHouse to do something more drastic than to monitor people for symptoms arriving from the three known countries with outbreaks of ebola. What if they spike a fever after they picked their nose and left it on your airplane seat.
This is serious stuff here and we have the opportunity if we act now to slow down the threat of an epidemic here..
