re: confirmed ebola in NYC.

Jesus Christ you only catch it through non saliva bodily fluid transfer in like the last stages of the disease. Everyone who has caught came in contact with Ebola patients who were dying basically. Not one person in the us has caught it via a person-surface-person transmission. And it'd be pretty hard to do so bc you'd have to ignore a big pile of vomit and blood.

Ebola is about as contagious as HIV is. So I guess this reaction shouldn't surprise anyone, bc at the height of the HIV panic people had the same mindset, touching or even being around something a gay person had touched was dangerous. It's understandable, but it's just as medically ridiculous
