    Ebola was always a fucking stupid ass red flag and made me question any data coming out of bm.

    Remember when a nurse helping with ebola in Africa came back to the US when she was infected? It was a fucking national news story for weeks. Like wall to wall coverage. I feel like she had military escorts and all that.

    Ebola just doesn’t show up in the middle of the Nevada desert.
