At first I laughed. Then I agreed with her.

Lost my shite with this lady this morning. She actually said it's a good thing that Ebola has "hit" the U.S. because " now it will be cured because there is money for curing diseases when white Americans are threatened but not for black Africans". Could not believe that she (white middle class 30 something soccer mom btw) found a way to make Ebola about race. I hate the country we are turning into!
in a small way, she has some points. Big-Pharma does seem to focus on whichever drugs would be the most profitable. Americans can pay more than hut-dwelling Africans.
We would gladly line up for $1,000 Ebola vaccines.

This woman's thought process is inherently wrong because Ebola has been a threat to white America for months now. This incident in dallas just highlights how big of a threat ebola is globally.
Anyone who believes our level of involvement is dictated by race is a flat out moron.

Also, because we don't have that weird tradition West Africa has of having to touch the body of someone who has just died.

Do you have any idea how many billions of dollars would be lost on the yearly if cancer was cured?
Because there are no economic costs from of all the people that have cancer, and there would certainly be no money in discovering the cure. Congrats on outing yourself as a tinfoil hat wearing fricking moron.

This lady, as is most of the US population regardless of race, is ignorant to the facts. I have friends who work in the UTMB BSL-4 lab in Galveston. They have been working on the issue for quite some time and will continue their efforts at the same level as before. The Dallas case only gave the MEDIA something to talk about because they have nothing else going right now.
FYI, the Dallas case is not the first time a person was in the continental US with ebola.

Her dumb arse will probably think the experimental meds they have game about because of this outbreak rather than being worked on for years.

When Americans get Ebola, they don't fly to Africa to get cured. They fly to Atlanta!

They need to come up with an acronym for it, first. Ebola is too difficult for idiots to say when they are screaming at a camera, groveling for 'likes'.

Have you ever been on the MARTA? Food for thought...

My co-worker thinks Bill and Melinda Gates are behind Ebola to decrease the population.
Sorry not trying to one up you on nuttiness or anything, just a lot of hysteria and crazy ideas apparently...
