    A biggie in the media today is "Clipboard Man". A man with a clipboard and no protective gear whatsoever is seen along side as the 2nd nurse is being loaded into the plane in Dallas and when she arrives in Atlanta. He has been identified as Supervisor for Phoenix Air.

    He was seen twice using his bare hands to handle things given to him by protected workers as news helicopters filmed from above.

    Ah right. Kind of strange isn't it? Since it's also relevant news involving the subject.

    I just count it as the usual, self-centered-America, only concerned with how anything concerns itself.

    Well they could see it as a positive effort against the threat and something to pat yourself (as a nation) on the back for :p

    That's how it works here too ;)

    So, are the plain clothes guys next to the haz-mat guys causing any conflict for the rest of you?

    I think that the Ebola virus is the new Kyoto protocol. It determines the true conscience for the fear of wasting the public people and infrastructure. From the external hopelessness of knowing the way to get around the neighbourhood of the scientifically observed for the consumer maintained, to the misunderstood communicating with the fellow-humanity for the defending selfish use of private ownership and it's energy.

    What do you do? Do you just throw a bunch of words into a hat and randomly draw them out when you get ready to post?

    Oh, so that is what it was...false panic. I did not read the article. I did not want to feel depressed yet, so thank you for telling us what that was about here.... :)
    Now we have false claims....wonderful....:(

    Obama is expected to send The National Guard to Liberia.

    A team of eight engineers and several logistical specialists — both active-duty and reservists — are expected to be included in the first wave of soldiers being deployed to the West African nation, NBC News report​ed.
    They will help locals construct 17 Ebola treatment centers that will be equipped with 100 beds apiece.

    I feel sorry for the people sitting next to that nurse in the airplane.

    As far as panic. I'd much rather panic now and prepare a plan then to have no plan and go crazy with everyone else later.
