Ebola in the US

[Labbug]

The first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the US was announced today in Texas.  The person had no symptoms when he flew from West Africa to Texas, but developed the symptoms a day or two after arriving in the country.  He is in a hospital in Dallas being treated.

Yeah. Just saw that one the news.

Was listening to the press conference just now. The problem is that when you're first infected you don't have much of the virus in your body, so it's difficult to detect even with a test.

It's a stealth virus that may appear almost anywhere.

page 3, paragraph 5, sentence #3:
"Any diseases caught during the completion or fulfillment of your job as Gus are not the fault of Grogheads or its staff, moderators or forum users."

to be fair we were thinking crabs or herpies when we put that in there.
