Which is odd, because on my page, this is shown as my 11,109th.
Someone can't count.

Not everything is about you. Check Scumple's post tally.

Oh yeh. Now there's a coincidence. But he cheats, with all his double posts.
I'm getting ready to celebrate clocking 11,111.
It's supposed to be lucky.

Besides the point. We can't afford to allow migration in a time of heightened pathogen risk. I say knock em about a bit and send em the other way. A way of explaining things. :read:

Reminder: My point is that I read the earth has fallen 11,113 times. That was then. Now it's 11,116 times.

We have to wait for the universal killer mutation for some. Like that makes sense doesn't it? :nono:

How close to nothing? The incubation period is up to 21 days. But your semen can be infectious for much longer, if you've had ebola and survived it.

And as illegals often congregate together, it would be fairly easy for an infective person to be passing it to many others, who could be incubating it as they travelled.

Of course it's not a big threat, the outbreak seems to be declining a lot.
There's more chance of illegals bringing TB in though, especially the drug resistant kind.

Kill all males over the age of 12. Take the women and boys as slaves. Savor their lamentations.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

They are sending in sniffer dogs. I would send in attack dogs with tazers.
This is why police dogs need to be armed. They're already legged, but they need to be armed as well.
