        You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your ******' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say ****** that thing! Let's fight it!

          Yes. But its bad news if alot of people die at the same time. And ebola is not really top of my list of things I want to die from. I would prefer a nice bullet.

            I thought you were on your knees begging your mail order bride to pop your cherry? If only you had gone to a decent sofa shop she might have been willing.

              Not really, we could do with a billion or two being wiped out.

                  Any billion would do, unlikely to be European unless we have to go to war with Greece

                    Contagious, but perhaps not as highly so as other nasties as it can't be spread through the air. You'd have to be exposed to a patient's blood or fluids in order to catch it. As long as proper physical barriers are maintainted (gloves, masks, etc.) an outbreak can be contained. The problem is that the countries where outbreaks tend to happen have pretty low standards for such preventive measures.
                    You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.
