Okay, okay, best we can figure about 35,000 people die from the flu every year, and we have to beg people to get the flu shot.  One person has died of Ebola and we’re closing down schools.

I don’t understand this.

It’s making me crazy.

Okay, can I quarantine people who don’t get the flu shot because they are far more likely to kill me than Ebola is?

A friend told me that at her child’s school, they are requiring the kids wash their hands twice a day because of Ebola.  Wait a damn minute.  They weren’t washing their hands before?  What?  They don’t go to the bathroom all day?

And now we have an Ebola Czar?

Look, you make budget cuts, you suffer the consequences.  The NRA won’t approve our nominee for Surgeon General until he says that bullets are good for you.  Republicans cannot run around acting surprised when the system fails.

The Texas Department of State Health Services is the state agency that licenses and regulates health facilities in Texas.  It was the state’s job to insure that the hospital was ready for catastrophic events.  Why the hell do you think Rick Perry is staying in Europe?

It’s making me crazy.

I’m not going to listen to the news all weekend so if something other than Ebola idiocy happens, y’all let me know.
