There are more an more articles spreading about an ebola article in western Africa. They always say not to worry, but the disease is claiming medical staff left and right, and the planes are still flying.

Well, it may kill 90% of the infected people, but we're not to worry as long as it's easy to diagnose, right? Queue quote from doctor: "Because the initial symptoms are very vague, it can be headache, or malaise, or sore muscles, or a fever, which can be a number of different diseases."

rand()m quote

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
