Ebola

Back in the day when there was an infectious disease it was handled very quickly. I mean, in Texas of the 60’s we were “PoDunk,” but we weren’t THAT PoDunk! Now Chicken Pox we didn’t take to seriously, but there was also TB, Polio, and Smallpox. Oh yeah, and not that long ago. One of my childhood friends’ father had TB, and he was isolated. The whole town knew about it. It was contained! So what in God’s creation is this nonsense about letting some guy with Ebola fly into Dallas coughing and puking? Coughs his way across the Atlantic, coming from one of those filthy little countries over there, and all those people look alike. (Politically incorrect enough for ya’ll?) I just though I’d chunk that in for the liberals today. Fix their blood pressure up. Anyway, I digress. 

Anyway, they let this clown into Texas and trot him all over hell’s creation, shutting down five schools, and apartment building and one homeless guy who was luckless enough to meet this idiot. This stuff spreads exponentially, people. One equals eight equals sixty-four equals disaster. And, oh yes, I’ve heard all the stuff about it’s not airborne, it’s not this, it’s not that. . . HORSE HOCKEY! That’s like finding out some chick you’ve been with come up with AIDS. You used a condom but I’ll give you a dime to a donut you trot your happy butt down to the clinic. Am I wrong? 

Ebola is a virus. Let me give you Wilbur’s Medical 101: We still can’t cure a virus! Viruses are like little computers, programmed to perpetuate themselves in the host. Bacteria are like little bugs you can use antibiotics on to kill them. Ebola is a VIRUS. And the bad part is there was no NEED for it to be HERE at ALL. Of all the things we have to worry about, keeping some black guy from LIBERIA out of Texas should have been dirt simple! About half way across the Atlantic there should have been a conversation. 

“Uh, this is Flight (Whatever). Seems we have a sick passenger here. Puking, coughing, girlfriend just died from Ebola back in the old country.”

“Yes, Flight (Doomed), Suggest you divert to Cuba, Guatemala, Easter Island, ANYWHERE but HERE!”

“Negative. Cannot get landing permission for any of those destinations. Please give other options.”

“Yes, you need to decend to ten thousand feet, have the flight attendants open that little door in the rear of the plane, and THROW THAT FOOL OUT!”

“Ok, affirmative.”

“And clean up that cabin with Clorox!”

See how simple that was? Friends and neighbors, this is the result of rampant Political Correctness! “Oh, Wilbur, we can judge someone just because he’s coughing up blood and flying in from a sewer.” YES WE CAN! Let me ask you. Do you want to LIVE? Ebola will KILL you. Ebola is HERE! Shut the schools down? BURN those schools down and sprinkle the ashes with salt. Put those poor kids in quarantine for four weeks to make sure they’re ok, and DON’T LET KUNTA KINTE BACK IN TEXAS AGAIN! You’ve just endangered our kids. CPS must be rubbing themselves over this one. Talk about a case load? Hey, now there’s an idea. If we could just get that virus in the CPS offices. . .
